Nonlinear adsorption isotherm as a tool for understanding and characterizing molecularly imprinted polymers.
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have frequently been characterized by quantities which are easily determined from experiments but have no theoretical foundation. This makes it difficult to compare different MIP preparations or to transfer MIP based methods to different experimental conditions. Since the adsorption isotherms of MIPs are markedly nonlinear, one can build a better characterization strategy on isotherms as shown by examples in this paper.
