The explosive @entity27022 (TATP), which can be prepared from commercially readily available reagents following an easy synthetic procedure, is one of the most common components of @entity1652 ( @entity1652 ). Molecularly-imprinted polymer (MIP) electrochemical sensors have proved useful for the determination of different compounds in different matrices with the required sensitivity and selectivity. In this work, a highly sensitive and selective molecularly imprinted polymer with electrochemical capabilities for the determination of TATP has been developed. The molecular imprinting has been performed via electropolymerisation onto a glassy carbon electrode surface by cyclic voltammetry from a solution of @entity19423 functional monomer, TATP template and @entity19919 . Differential Pulse Voltammetry of TATP, with @entity19919 as supporting electrolyte, was performed in a potential range of -2.0 V to +1.0 V (vs. Ag/ @entity19022 ). Three-factor two-level factorial design was used to optimise the monomer concentration at 0.1 mol   @entity5022 , template concentration at 100 mmol   @entity5022 and the number of cyclic voltammetry scan cycles to 10. The molecularly imprinted polymer-modified glassy @entity505 electrode demonstrated good performance at low concentrations for a linear range of 82-44,300   g   @entity5022 and a correlation coefficient of r2 = 0.996. The limits of detection (LoD) and quantification (LoQ) achieved were 26.9  g   @entity5022 , respectively. The sensor demonstrated very good repeatability with precision values (n = 6, expressed as %RSD) of 1.098% and 0.55% for 1108 and 2216   g   @entity5022 , respectively. It also proved selective for TATP in the presence of other explosive substances such as PETN, RDX, HMX, and @entity64839 .
