Abstract:
1. A molecularly imprinted material comprising pores or channels having surfaces that include a plurality of molecularly imprinted cavities; wherein the material comprises a polymer made from polymerizing a monomer having the structural formula (OR) wherein A is a divalent organic group; wherein each B is an independently selected saturated or unsaturated divalent hydrocarbon group or a covalent bond; wherein each R is an independently selected saturated or unsaturated monovalent hydrocarbon group; and wherein the material is made by a method comprising: combining a solvent, the monomer, and a surfactant coupled to an imprint group; polymerizing the monomer to form a solid structure having a surface topography complementary to the surface topography of the supramolecular structure and having indentations complementary to the shape of the exposed imprint groups; and removing the supramolecular structure from the solid structure.
