Imprinted CS Membrane Using EGCG as Template

A molecularly imprinted membrane was prepared in aqueous media using CS as functional monomer, EGCG as template molecules. The morphologies of molecularly imprinted membrane before and after modification with porogen (PEG) were observed by SEM. The imprinted membrane showed an excellent performance after several times adsorption and desorption. According to Scatchard analysis, the result showed that the imprinted membrane had a binding site for EGCG, the max adsorption capacity of imprinted membrane and equilibrium binding constant arrived at 49.52 mg/g, 4.046, respectively
