Studies on sorption of bifenthrin and diazinon insecticides on molecularly imprinted polymers

Synthesis and characterization of polymeric matrices for molecular recognition of pesticides are presented. For their preparation, methacrylic acid as a functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a cross‐linking agent were used. As template molecules, diazinon and bifenthrin were applied. Syntheses were carried out in the presence of different porogens. Chemical structures were studied using FTIR‐ATR, elemental analysis, and alkacymetric titration, morphology by laser diffraction particle size analyzer and by particle size, and shape analyzer based on image analysis, whereas porous structure by nitrogen adsorption/desorption method. To study selectivity of the sorbent toward template molecule, breakthrough volumes and sorption kinetics for molecularly imprinted polymers and nonimprinted analogues were determined. Particle sizes of the studied sorbents (expressed as CE diameter) were in the range 40 to 44 μm (except sorbent obtained in the presence of hexane). The chemical composition of all obtained sorbents was close to theoretical one (60.13% C, 7.11% H, 32.77% O). The values of specific surface area of the sorbents were in the range 2 to 338 m²/g.     

Porogens and porogen selection in the preparation of porous polymer monoliths

Porogens are key components required for the preparation of porous polymer monoliths for application in separation science. Porogens determine the stability, selectivity, and permeability of polymer monoliths. This review summarizes the role of porogens in the preparation of porous polymer monoliths with a focus on clear understanding of effect of porogens on morphological properties, porosity, surface area, mechanical stability, and permeability of monoliths, particularly targeting the field of separation science. This review also includes the use of different types of porogens with the focus on various approaches used to set criteria for their systematic selection, including porogen‐free techniques recently used for synthesis of porous monoliths. It discusses the current state‐of‐the‐art applications of porogens in column preparation as well as where the future developments in this field may be directed.     

Functional crosslinked polymer particles synthesized by precipitation polymerization for liquid chromatography

Highly crosslinked functional polymer particles with narrow size distribution have been produced by precipitation copolymerization of divinylbenzene, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and vinylbenzyl chloride using a simple reflux protocol. After establishing the satisfactory synthesis conditions, we produced uniform chlorobenzyl particles with different size depending on the polymerization times. The porosity of those particles was modulated from microporous to mesoporous structure by using various porogens such as toluene, dodecanol, cyclohexanol and polypropylene glycol. These particles were tested as stationary phase in high-performance liquid chromatography for the separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in reversed-phase mode. The separation was observed even for elution 100% organic (methanol) without any participation of water fraction in the eluent composition. The influences of particles size, specific surface area and packing conditions on the separation behavior were investigated.     

Photocrosslinked poly(ester‐anhydride) microspheres with macroporous structure

In this work, the new method of preparation biodegradable microspheres with macroporous structure is presented. Typical methods used for generation of porous structures in microspheres obtained from preformed polymers require the use of additional substances acting as porogens. In this study, the porosity was achieved as the effect of photocrosslinking, without porogens. Microspheres were prepared using emulsion solvent evaporation technique from functional poly(ester‐anhydride)s with different amount of allyl groups in the side chains. The crosslinking was carried out by UV irradiation during the solvent evaporation (photoinitiator was introduced to polymer solution). The size of microspheres obtained was in the range of 1.7 – 4 µm (small microspheres) or 31 – 50 µm (large ones) and depended on the conditions used in emulsion formulation process. Effectiveness of the crosslinking was characterized by the content of insoluble part of samples, and it was in the range of 42–89%. The content of insoluble part of sample of microspheres and their porosity were dependent on functionality of poly(ester‐anhydride)s, the amount of photoinitiator used, and also on size of microparticles. The small particles were always more crosslinked than the large ones, but the latter were more porous than the small ones. Crosslinked microparticles indicated higher loading efficiency of model compound and appeared to degrade faster than uncrosslinked ones, probably due to their high porosity. The high porosity of microspheres obtained would enable their eventual use in pulmonary drug delivery systems or in construction of porous scaffolds for tissue engineering.

Comparative study on the separation behavior of monolithic columns prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization and via electron beam irradiation triggered free radical polymerization for proteins

Monolithic columns have been prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization using different monomers and crosslinkers, i.e. norborn-2-ene, 1,4,4a,5,8,8a-hexahydro-1,4,5,8-exo,endo-dimethanonaphthalene, cyclooctene and tris(cyclooct-4-en-1-yloxy)methylsilane. 2-Propanol and toluene were used as macro- and microporogens. Alternatively, monolithic supports were realized via electron beam triggered free radical polymerization using trimethylolpropane triacrylate and ethylmethacrylate. Here, 2-propanol, 1-dodecanol and toluene were used as porogens. The three monolithic supports were structurally characterized by inverse size exclusion chromatography and investigated for their separation capabilities for a series of proteins. Separation efficiencies are discussed within the context of the different structural features of the monolithic supports and are compared to the separation data obtained on a commercial silica-based Chromolith RP-18e column.     

Novel polystyryl resins for size exclusion chromatography

New size exclusion chromatography (SEC) resins based on a crosslinker having independent vinyl groups have been produced and compared with SEC resins based on divinylbenzene-55 (DVB). 1,2-Bis(p-vinylphenyl)ethane (p,p-BVPE) and its meta-isomers were suspension-copolymerized with p-methylstyrene in the presence of different porogens to give particles of about 5 μm average diameter. The porous particles were slurry-packed into stainless steel columns for SEC evaluation. Calibration curves were obtained using narrow disperse polystyrene standards with molecular weights ranging from 580 to 3,040,000. The calibration curves for the new BVPE resins covered wider useful molecular weight ranges than those for comparable divinylbenzene resins. Particle size, surface morphology and the properties of pores were studied using a Coulter Multisizer II, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption, and mercury porosimetry. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Size-exclusion separation of proteins using a biocompatible polymeric monolithic capillary column with mesoporosity

Biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol methyl ether acrylate-co-polyethylene glycol diacrylate) monoliths were prepared for size exclusion chromatography (SEC) of proteins in the capillary format using Brij 58P in a mixture of hexanes and dodecanol as porogens. The monolithic columns provided size separation of four proteins in 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) containing 0.15 M NaCl, and there was a linear relationship between the retention times and the logarithmic values of the molecular weights. Compared to SEC monoliths previously synthesized using a triblock copolymer of polyethylene oxide and polypropylene oxide, an increase in mesoporosity was confirmed by inverse size exclusion chromatography. As a result, improved protein separation in the high molecular weight range and reduced column back-pressure were observed.     

Rapid determination of sterols in vegetable oils by CEC using methacrylate ester‐based monolithic columns

A method for the determination of sterols in vegetable oils by CEC with UV–Vis detection, using methacrylate ester‐based monolithic columns, has been developed. To prepare the columns, polymerization mixtures containing monomers of different hydrophobicities were tried. The influence of composition of polymerization mixture was optimized in terms of porogenic solvent, monomers/porogens and monomer/crosslinker ratios. The composition of the mobile phase was also studied. The optimum monolith was obtained with lauryl methacrylate monomer at 60:40% (wt:wt) lauryl methacrylate/ethylene dimethacrylate ratio and 60 wt% porogens with 20 wt% of 1,4‐butanediol (12 wt% 1,4‐butanediol in the polymerization mixture). Excellent resolution between sterols was achieved in less than 7 min with an 85:10:5 v/v/v ACN–2‐propanol–water buffer containing 5 mM Tris at pH 8.0. The limits of detection were lower than 0.04 mM, and inter‐day and column‐to‐column reproducibilities at 0.75 mM were better than 6.2%. The method was applied to the determination of sterols in vegetable oils with different botanical origins and to detect olive oil adulteration with sunflower and soybean oils.     

Effect of solvent type on the nanoparticle formation of atorvastatin calcium by the supercritical antisolvent process

The aims of this study were to identify how the solvent selection affects particle formation and to examine the effect of the initial drug solution concentration on mean particle size and particle size distribution in the supercritical antisolvent (SAS) process. Amorphous atorvastatin calcium was precipitated from seven different solvents using the SAS process. Particles with mean particle size ranging between 62.6 and 1493.7 nm were obtained by varying organic solvent type and solution concentration. By changing the solvent, we observed large variations in particle size and particle size distribution, accompanied by different particle morphologies. Particles obtained from acetone and tetrahydrofuran (THF) were compact and spherical fine particles, whereas those from N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) were agglomerated, with rough surfaces and relatively larger particle sizes. Interestingly, the mean particle size of atorvastatin calcium increased with an increase in the boiling point of the organic solvent used. Thus, for atorvastatin particle formation via the SAS process, particle size was determined mainly by evaporation of the organic solvent into the antisolvent phase. In addition, the mean particle size was increased with increasing drug solution concentration. In this study, from the aspects of particle size and solvent toxicity, acetone was the better organic solvent for controlling nanoparticle formation of atorvastatin calcium.
