초음파 임프린팅은 초음파 진동에너지를 이용하여 열가소성 고분자 표면에 미세패턴을 복제할 수 있는 공정으로 짧은 성형시간에 적은 에너지로 미세패턴 복제가 가능한 장점이 있다. 최근에는 마스크 필름을 사용한 선택적 임프린팅 기술과 다중 패턴성형이 가능한 반복적 임프린팅 기술이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 선택적 초음파 임프린팅에 반복적 임프린팅을 접목시켜 다양한 형태의 다중 복합 미세패턴의 복제기술을 개발하였다. 이를 위해 미세 프리즘 패턴을 포함한 금형과 다양한 형태의 마스크 필름을 사용하여 선택적 연속성형 및 반복성형을 통해 다양한 형태의 미세패턴을 복제할 수 있는 임프린팅 기술을 개발하였다. 또한 복제된 미세패턴 영역에 대해 레이저 조사실험을 실시하여 다양한 형태의 광확산 특성을 갖는 필름을 개발할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

We describe the preparation of nanostructured molecularly-imprinted surfaces using nanomolding on porous alumina. In molecular imprinting functional and cross-linking monomers are copolymerized in the presence of a molecular template, resulting in synthetic receptor materials. The drug propranolol and the dye fluorescein were used as the molecular imprinting templates. Binding studies with imprinted and non-imprinted surfaces revealed specific recognition of the templates and thus the existence of selective binding sites. In addition, the surface properties of the films were studied by water contact angle measurements. It was found that, depending on the monomers used, certain nanostructures induced great changes in the wetting properties of the surface.

This review presents the preparation, transport mechanism and application of molecularly imprinted membranes (MIM). Molecular imprinting has now been established as a technique which allows the creation of tailor-made binding sites for many classes of compounds. MIM have some advantages; a high capacity due to a large surface area, faster transport of substrate molecules and faster equilibrium of binding cavities compared to molecularly imprinted particles. MIM were prepared by covalent and non-covalent chemical bonding systems, by interactions between functional monomer and template. MIM can be prepared by in-situ polymerization, wet phase inversion, dry phase inversion, and surface imprinting method. MIM can continuously separate mixtures based on facilitated or retarded diffusion of the template. MIM can change their permeability in the presence of templates. MIM have a potential to be used to separate chiral compounds and materials with similar structures. However the application of MIM by the chemical industries is still in its infancy stages.

Molecular imprinting has now been established as a technique which allows the creation of tailor-made binding sites for many classes of compounds. MIPs were prepared by covalent and non-covalent chemical bonding systems, by interactions between functional monomer and template. The shape of MIP is divided to particle and membrane. MIP membranes can be prepared by surface imprinting, in-situ polymerization, wet phase inversion and the dry phase inversion method. MIPs have been mainly used for analytical separation and biosensor systems to separate and detect chiral compounds and materials with similar structures. However the application of MIP by the chemical industries is still in its infancy stages. This review summarizes the preparative characteristics and applications of MIP with respect to chiral separations and biosensors.

A highly selective molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for sarcosine, a cancer marker, was prepared and its use as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent material was demonstrated. The MIP was prepared by a very simple procedure using methacrylic acid as functional monomer and a mixture acetonitrile/water (4/1, v/v) as porogen, overcoming in this way the problems usually related to the imprinting of biological polar compounds. The MIP was tested in batch experiments in order to evaluate its binding properties and then used as SPE sorbent for the selective clean-up and pre-concentration of sarcosine. The extraction protocol was successfully applied to the direct extraction of sarcosine from spiked human urine indicating that the MIP allowed sarcosine to be pre-concentrated while simultaneously interfering compounds were removed from the matrix.

저가의 소자 개발이 가능한 나노임프린팅 공정을 도입하여 510 nm 주기의 브래그 격자 구조를 가지는 폴리머 광도파로 소자를 제작하였다. 폴리머 격자 광소자의 온도 의존성을 감소시키기 위한 방법으로 플라스틱 박막으로 이루어진 유연성 기판상에 브래그 격자를 제작하는 것이 필요하다. 임프린팅 공정을 손쉽게 수행하기 위한 광도파로 구조를 채택하였으며, 코아와 클래딩의 굴절률이 각각 1.540, 1.430인 폴리머를 이용하여 코아 두께가 $3{\mu}m$인 단일모드 광도파로 구조를 얻을 수 있었다. 유연성 기판 브래그 격자 광도파로 소자의 특성을 Si기판 브래그 격자 광도파로 소자와 비교하여 관측한 결과, 유연성 기판 도입에 따른 브래그 반사 소자의 성능 저하는 나타나지 않았다.

A photocrosslinkable polyphosphazene was used for molecular imprinting. We synthesized polyphosphazene (3) having urea groups for complexation with N-carbobenzyloxyglycin (Z-Gly-OH, template) and chalcone groups for cross-linking reaction. As substituents, 4-hydroxycha1cone (1) and N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-N'-ethylurea (2) were prepared. Choloro groups of poly(dichlorophosphazene) were replaced by the sequential treatment with sodium salts of compounds 1 and 2, and trifluoroethanol. The template molecule was complexed with the urea groups on the polymer chains via hydrogen bonding. A thin polymer film was prepared by casting a solution of the complex of polymer 3 and the template in dimethylformamide on a quartz cell and irradiated with 365 nm UV light to yield a cross-linked film with a thickness of about $16{\mu}m$. The template molecules in the film were removed by Soxhlet extraction with methanol/acetic acid. The control polymer film was prepared in the same manner for the preparation of the imprinted polymer film, except that the template and triethylamine were omitted. In the rebinding test, the imprinted film exhibited much higher recognition ability for the template than the control polymer. We also investigated the specific recognition ability of the imprinted polymer for the template and its structural analogues. The rebinding tests were conducted using Z-Glu-OH, Z-Asp($O^tBu$)-OH, and Z-Glu-OMe. The imprinted film showed higher specific recognition ability for the template and the lowest response for Z-Asp($O^tBu$)-OH.

In this paper, an electrochemical sensor for epinephrine (EP), a neurotransmitter was developed by anchoring molecularly imprinted polymeric matrix (MIP) on the surface of gold-coated quartz crystal electrode of electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) using starch nanoparticles (Starch NP) - reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanocomposite as polymeric format for the first time. Use of EP in therapeutic treatment requires proper dose and route of administration. Proper follow-up of neurological disorders and timely diagnosis of them has been found to depend on EP level. The MIP sensor was developed by electrodeposition of starch NP-RGO composite on EQCM electrode in presence of template EP. As the imprinted sites are located on the surface, high specific surface area enables good accessibility and high binding affinity to template molecule. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and piezoelectrogravimmetry were used for monitoring binding/release, rebinding of template to imprinted cavities. MIP-coated EQCM electrode were characterized by contact angle measurements, AFM images, piezoelectric responses including viscoelasticity of imprinted films, and other voltammetric measurements including direct (DPV) and indirect (using a redox probe) measurements. Selectivity was assessed by imprinting factor (IF) as high as 3.26 (DPV) and 3.88 (EQCM). Sensor was rigorously checked for selectivity in presence of other structurally close analogues, real matrix (blood plasma), reproducibility, repeatability, etc. Under optimized conditions, the EQCM-MIP sensor showed linear dynamic ranges ($1-10{\mu}M$). The limit of detection 40 ppb (DPV) and 290 ppb (EQCM) was achieved without any cross reactivity and matrix effect indicating high sensitivity and selectivity for EP. Hence, an eco-friendly MIP-sensor with high sensitivity and good selectivity was fabricated which could be applied in "real" matrices in a facile manner.
