Molecular imprinting nanomaterial polymer

The interactions and the compatibility between the template and monomers in a typical polymer matrix play an important role [41]. A number of different methods are used to prepare the imprinted nanomaterials, including bulk, suspension, multi-step swelling, mini-emulsion, core-shell and precipitation polymerizations [42].

Recent trends in pesticide analysis in food aims for reduced sample pretreatments or simplified methodologies (as QuEChERS approaches), the use of online purification processes, the use of new adsorbents (such as molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) and nanomaterials) for the extraction and clean-up processes, and focused on the development of large multiresidue methods, most of them based on LC-MS/ MS. In spite of the relevant role of LC-MS/MS, GC-MS-based methods still play an important role in pesticide analysis in food. Despite the development achieved in the immunochemical approaches, the need for multi-residue methods has supported the development and use of instrumental techniques.
