Polymer-based adsorption medium prepared using a fragment imprinting technique for homologues of chlorinated bisphenol A produced in the environment.

A polymer-based adsorption medium having molecular recognition ability for homologues of chlorinated bisphenol A produced in environment was prepared using a fragment imprinting technique. 2,6-Dimethyl phenol was utilized as a pseudo-template molecule and the adsorption media prepared was evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and solid-phase extraction (SPE). As results, the adsorption medium showed preferable chromatographic retention and specific adsorption ability for the chlorinated bisphenol As having chlorine substituents at 3,5-positions through fragment imprinting effect.
