A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) that is selective to ketoprofen was synthesized and applied in the adsorption of target compound from water. The MIP using a bulk polymerization method at high temperatures (60–80°C), where ketoprofen, 2-vinylpyridine, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, toluene 1,1´-azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile) were used as template, functional monomer, cross-linker, porogen initiator, respectively. Non-imprinted (NIP) similarly but absence ketoprofen. From molecular...
