Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer particles synthesized by suspension polymerization in silicone oil

Magnetic nanoparticles have been prepared by a co-precipitation method and modified with methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane. Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer particles have been prepared by suspension polymerization in silicone oil. The particles possess a high affinity to the template molecules and are rapidly separated under a magnetic field.
