Abstract: | Selective recognition of metal ions utilizing metal ion-imprinted polymers (MIIPs) received much importance in diverse fields owing to their high selectivity for the target metal ions. In the present study, a copper ion imprinted polymer was synthesized without an additional complexing ligand or complex with a broad aim to avoid the conventional extra metal ion complexing ligand during the synthesis of MIIP. The complete removal of the copper metal ion from the MIIP was confirmed by AAS and SEM–EDX. SEM image of the MIIP exhibited nano-patterns and it was also found to be entirely different from that of non-imprinted polymer and polymer with copper metal ions. BET surface area analysis revealed more surface area (47.96 m2/g) for the Cu(II)-MIIP than non-imprinted control polymer (41.43 m2/g). TGA result of polymer with copper metal ion indicated more char yield (18.41%) when compared to non-imprinted control polymer (8.3%) and Cu(II)-MIIP (less than 1%). FTIR study confirmed the complexation between Cu(II)-MIIP and Cu(II) metal ion through carbonyl oxygen of acryl amide. The Cu(II)-MIIP exhibited an imprinting efficiency of 2.0 and it was showing 8% interference from a mixture of Zn, Ni and Co ions. A potentiometric ion selective electrode devised with Cu(II)-MIIP showed more potential response for Cu(II) ion than that was fabricated from non-imprinted polymer. |
