Abstract:
A polymeric sorbent selective for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was synthesized by a molecular imprinting technique using a fluorous monomer and cross-linker, and assessed chromatographically, suggesting that the fluorous imprinted polymer recognizes PFOA via hydrogen bonding and fluorine-fluorine interaction.
