Kinetics and Dynamics of Sorption of the Glucose Target Molecule by a Molecularly Imprinted Polymer

The effect of imprinting of a polymer matrix based on ethylene glycol dimethacrylate on the kinetics and dynamics of binding of the glucose target molecule has been studied. The contribution of the adsorption act to the sorption kinetics of the target sorbate by the molecularly imprinted polymer was established. Mixed-diffusion limitation of mass transfer and cooperative adsorption of glucose molecules during sorption by both imprinted and nonimprinted polymer granules were revealed. The binding rate and accessibility of sorption sites in the imprinted polymer were shown to increase, and frontal sorption occurred in a regular mode.
