Abstract
The application of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) in fluorescence detection is of great interest. Herein, we have synthesized the ionic covalent organic framework TGH+·PD: Eu(TTA)4 with the characteristic emission of lanthanides by a straightforward ion-exchange method. This is the first time that aristolochic acid A (AA), a key biomarker for absorption and metabolism in the body for early diagnosis of diseases, has been detected by using COF as a fluorescent probe, which exhibits a good linear correlation with the AA concentration over a range from 5.0 to 1000 μM with a detection limit of 0.0808 μM. In addition, the selective response to sulfamethoxazole (SMZ)/trimethoprim (TMP) is achieved by varying the excitation wavelength with detection lines of 30.2 nM and 2.898 μM, respectively. It is worth mentioning that BNPP has been developed for the accurate determination of SMZ in uncertain samples. In a word, the prepared TGH+·PD: Eu(TTA)4-based sensor can be used for the quantitative detection of AA and SMZ/TMP, separately, effectively extending the application of COFs in the field of fluorescence sensing.

Abstract
Identification of sulfonamides (SAs) residues in food is vital for human health. A set of 4-channel sensor array was constructed by carbon dots (CDs) embedded in photonic crystal molecularly imprinted (PCMIP@CDs) film which included 3 PCMIP@CDs units and 1 PCNIP@CDs unit to determine typical SAs: sulfadimethoxine, sulfathiazole, sulfaguanidine, sulfamethazine, sulfadiazine. Under the optimal conditions, the response time of the sensor array was only 200 s. Moreover, 300 fluorescence response signals (4 sensor units × 5 sulfonamides × 3 concentrations × 5 repeats) were processed by pattern recognition technique to analyze the ability of the sensor array to recognize 5 kinds of SAs. Subsequently, the linear discrimination analysis (LDA) method was used to identify the five SAs simultaneously with 100 % classification accuracy and the limit of detection was 0.01-0.26 nmol/L. Moreover, the proposed method can effectively identify-five SAs in water and fish samples.

Abstract
The extensive use of antibiotics leading to the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance poses high health risks to humans, but to date there is still lack of an on-site detection method of SA residues. In this study, we integrated radical polymerization using sodium p-styrenesulfonate as a functional monomer and the self-polymerization of dopamine to prepare double-system imprinted polymers (DIPs) using sulfonamide antibiotics as templates. We found that the DIPs were semi-interpenetrating polymer networks and introduction of poly(dopamine) improved the selectivity of the imprinted cavities as well as the conductivity. The selectivity and sensitivity of the sensor using DIPs were much higher than those using single-system MIPs. This sensor could determine sulfonamides in complex samples in the presence of structural analogues. The linear range was from 0.01 to 10.00 μmol L-1 with a detection limit of 4.00 nmol L-1. Furthermore, based on the highly selective DIPs and statistics analysis, this method could be used for simultaneous analysis of 4 sulfonamide types in real samples with an accuracy of 94.87 %. This work provides a strategy to improve the selectivity and sensitivity of MIPs based-sensor that can serve as tool for the simultaneous analysis of antibiotic residues in environment samples.

Abstract
Photonic crystals (PCs) are nanomaterials with photonic properties made up of periodically modulated dielectric materials that reflect light between a wavelength range located in the photonic band gap. Colloidal PCs (C-PC) have been proposed for several applications such as optical platforms for the formation of physical, chemical, and biological sensors based on a chromatic response to an external stimulus. In this work, a robust protocol for the elaboration of photonic crystals based on SiO2 particle (SP) deposition using the vertical lifting method was studied. A wide range of lifting speeds and particle suspension concentrations were investigated by evaluating the C-PC reflectance spectrum. Thinner and higher reflectance peaks were obtained with a decrease in the lifting speed and an increase in the SP concentrations up to certain values. Seven batches of twelve C-PCs employing a SP 3% suspension and a lifting speed of 0.28 µm/s were prepared to test the reproducibility of this method. Every C-PC fabricated in this assay has a wavelength peak in a range of 10 nm and a peak width lower than 90 nm. Inverse-opal polymeric films with a highly porous and interconnected morphology were obtained using the developed C-PC as a template. Overall, these results showed that reproducible colloidal crystals could be elaborated on a large scale with a simple apparatus in a short period, providing a step forward in the scale-up of the fabrication of photonic colloidal crystal and IO structures as those employed for the elaboration of photonic polymeric sensors.

Abstract
Chemical contaminants in food generally include natural toxins (mycotoxins, animal toxins, and phytotoxins), pesticides, veterinary drugs, environmental pollutants, heavy metals, and illegal additives. Developing a low-cost, simple, and rapid detection technology for harmful substances in food is urgently needed. Analytical methods based on different advanced materials have been developed into rapid detection methods for food samples. In particular, photonic crystal (PC) materials have a unique surface periodic structure, structural color, a large surface area, easy integration with photoelectronic and magnetic devices which have great advantages in the development of rapid, low-cost, and highly sensitive analytical methods. This review focuses on the PC materials in the view of their fabrication processes, functionalized recognition components for the specific recognition of hazardous substances, and applications in the separation, enrichment, and detection of chemical hazards in real samples. Suspension array based on three-dimensional PC microspheres by droplet-based microfluidic assembly is a great promising and powerful platform for food safety detection fields. For the PCs selective analysis, biological antibodies, aptamers, and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) could be modified for specific recognition of target substances, particularly MIPs because of their low-cost and easy mass production. Based on these functional PCs, various toxic and hazardous substances can be selectively enriched or recognized in real samples and further quantified in combination of liquid chromatography method or optical detection methods including fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract
Combining molecular imprinted polymers and water-soluble manganese-doped zinc sulfide quantum dots (Mn2+: ZnS QDs), a new molecule imprinted polymers-based fluorescence sensor was designed. The molecule imprinted quantum dots (MIP@QDs) were constructed by coating molecular imprinted polymers layer on the surface of ZnS: Mn2+ QDs using the surface molecular imprinting technology. The developed MIP@QDs-based sensor was used for rapid and selective fluorescence sensing of sulfanilamide in water samples. The binding experiments showed that the MIP@QDs has rapid fluorescent responses, which are highly selective of and sensitive to the detection of sulfanilamide. The respond time of the MIP@QDs was 5 min, and the imprinting factor was 14.8. Under optimal conditions, the developed MIP@QDs-based sensor shows a good linearity (R2 = 0.9916) over a sulfanilamide concentration range from 2.90 × 10−8 to 2.90 × 10−6 mol L−1, with a detection limit of 3.23 × 10−9 mol L−1. Furthermore, the proposed MIP@QDs-based sensor was applied to the determination of sulfanilamide in real samples, with recoveries of 96.80%–104.33%, exhibiting good recyclability and stability. Experimental results showed that the prepared MIP@QDs has the potential to serve as a selective and sensitive sensor for the fluorescence sensing of sulfonamides in water samples.

Abstract
Paper-based microfluidic analytical devices (μPADs) have recently attracted attention as a rapid test kit owing to their low cost and nonrequirement for external driving pump. However, low accuracy and poor anti-interference ability of μPADs under complex detection condition limit their practical applications. Here, we present a facile way to prepare a novel fluorescence sensor-array μPAD for multi-analyte discrimination based on molecular imprinting technology, and its sensing behavior was studied by using three nitrophenol (NP) isomers (2-, 3-, and 4-NP) as the testing models. Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) emitting blue light were grafted on glass-fiber paper, followed by in-situ modification of three types of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with 2-, 3-, and 4-NP as template. Each sensing unit on the array showed differential yet cross-reactive binding affinity to NP isomers, resulting in distinct fluorescence quenching efficiency. Thus, precise distinguishment of the three NPs was realized with the MIPs/CQDs/paper-based sensor array. Furthermore, the discrimination ability of the platform was evaluated in mixtures of the NP isomers. Practicability of this apparatus was validated by identification of blind samples and 100% accuracy was achieved. The μPAD has proven to be highly sensitive and accurate, which will serve as an ideal analytical tool in the fields of environment monitoring, disease prognosis, food safety and so on.

Abstract
Combating environmental pollution constantly requires new affinity tools to selectively recognize and sensitively detect them. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are plastic antibodies that have exhibited great potential as recognition units in optical sensing platforms to monitor wide varieties of environmental pollutants, including ionic species, organic compounds, gases, and even manufactured nanoparticles. The construction, sensing strategies, and applications of molecular-imprinting-based optical sensors (MI-OSs) have been discussed in recent reviews, thus we deliberately set them aside. This Perspective elaborates on unanswered questions and main approaches being taken to address the challenges of MI-OS technologies, which have been less considered until now. Specifically, we highlight obscure technical aspects of MI-OS fabrication and validation that impact their practical applications and importantly offer conceivable solutions to related problems to bridge the research gap.

Abstract
An ultrathin surface layer with extraordinary molecular mobility has been discovered and intensively investigated on thin-film polymer materials for decades. However, because of the lack of suitable characterization techniques, it remains largely unexplored whether such a surface mobile layer also exists on individual polymeric nanospheres. Here, we propose a thermal-optical imaging technique to determine the glass transition (Tg) and rubber-fluid transition (Tf) temperatures of single isolated polystyrene nanospheres (PSNS) in a high-throughput and nonintrusive manner for the first time. Two distinct steps, corresponding to the glass transition and rubber-fluid transition, respectively, were clearly observed in the optical trace of single PSNS during temperature ramping. Because the transition temperature and size of the same individuals were both determined, single nanoparticle measurements revealed the reduced apparent Tf and increased Tg of single PSNS on the gold substrate with a decreasing radius from 130 to 70 nm. Further experiments revealed that the substrate effect played an important role in the increased Tg. More importantly, a gradual decrease in the optical signal was detected prior to the glass transition, which was consistent with a surface layer with enhanced molecular mobility. Quantitative analysis further revealed the thickness of this layer to be ∼8 nm. This work not only uncovered the existence and thickness of a surface mobile layer in single isolated nanospheres but also demonstrated a general bottom-up strategy to investigate the structure-property relationship of polymeric nanomaterials by correlating the thermal property (Tg and Tf) and structural features (size) at single nanoparticle level.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in the use of theoretical and computational approaches in the study and development of molecular imprinting systems. These tools are being used to either improve understanding of the mechanisms underlying the function of molecular imprinting systems or for the design of new systems. Here, we present an overview of the literature describing the application of theoretical and computational techniques to the different stages of the molecular imprinting process (pre-polymerization mixture, polymerization process and ligand-molecularly imprinted polymer rebinding), along with an analysis of trends within and the current status of this aspect of the molecular imprinting field.

Liu Y, Lian Z, Li F, Majid A, Wang J. Review on molecular imprinting technology and its application in pre-treatment and detection of marine organic pollutants. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2021; 169:112541. [PMID: 34052587 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2021.112541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2021] [Revised: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
Molecular imprinting technology (MIT) has been considered as an attractive method to produce artificial receptors with the memory of size, shape and functional groups of the templates and has become an emerging technique with the potential in various fields due to recognitive specificity, high efficient selectivity and mechanical stability, which can effectively remove background interference and is suitable for the pre-treatment and analysis of trace level substances in complex matrix samples. Nearly 100 papers about the application of MIT in the detection of marine pollutants were found through Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). On this basis, combined with the application of MIT in other fields, the pre-treatment process of marine environmental samples was summarized and the potential of four types of different molecularly imprinted materials in the pre-treatment and detection of marine organic pollutants (including antibiotics, triazines, organic dyes, hormones and shellfish toxins) samples was evaluated, which provides the innovative configurations and progressive applications for the analysis of marine samples, and also highlights future trends and perspectives in the emerging research field.

Abstract
Photonic crystals (PhCs) with a brightly colored structure are novel materials and are widely used in chemical and biological sensing. Combining PhCs with molecular imprinting technology (MIT), the molecularly imprinted PhC (MIPC) sensors are fabricated, which can specifically recognize the target molecules. Aside from high sensitivity and selectivity, the MIPC sensors could recognize the naked eye detection because of its optical properties. In this review, an overview of recent advances in sensing applications of MIPC sensors including the responsive mechanisms, application in environmental monitoring, and the application to human health were illustrated. The MIPC sensors all responded to the analytes specifically and also showed high sensitivity in real samples, which provided a method to realize the rapid, convenient, naked eye, and real-time detection. Furthermore, the current limitations and potential future directions of MIPC sensors were also discussed.

Abstract
Core-shell structured photoresponsive molecularly imprinted polymers were developed for the determination of sulfamethazine in milk samples. The photoresponsive imprinted polymers were prepared with polymethyl methacrylate containing a mass of ester groups as core, sulfamethazine as template molecules, self-synthesized water-soluble 4-[(4-methacryloyloxy)phenylazo] benzenesulfonic acid as a photoresponsive monomer, and ethylene dimethacrylate as cross-linker. Interestingly, the imprinted polymer can specifically adsorb sulfamethazine under dark and 440 nm irradiation, and release it at 365 nm. A series of adsorption experiments showed that the maximum adsorption capacity reached 12.5 mg⋅g-1 , and the adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 80 min. Moreover, the imprinted polymers display excellent reusability, with almost no performance loss after four times photo-controlled adsorption-release cycles, and the imprinted polymers have excellent selectively for sulfamethazine (imprinting factor = 3.01). In the end, the imprinted polymers realized effective separation and enrichment of sulfamethazine in milk, with a recovery rate of over 97.5%. The material can be used as a solid-phase extractant in the process of enrichment and separation for the quantitative detection of sulfamethazine in milk samples.

Detection of chlorantraniliprole residues in tomato using field-deployable MIP photonic sensors. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:70.

Abstract
A photonic sensor based on inversed opal molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) film to detect the presence of chlorantraniliprole (CHL) residue in tomatoes was developed. Acrylic acid was polymerized in the presence of CHL inside the structure of a colloidal crystal, followed by etching of the colloids and CHL elution. Colloidal crystals and MIP films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and FT-IR, confirming the inner structure and chemical structure of the material. MIP films supported on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) slides were incubated in aqueous solutions of the pesticide and in blended tomato samples. The MIP sensor displayed shifts of the peak wavelength of the reflection spectra in the visible range when incubated in CHL concentrations between 0.5 and 10 μg L-1, while almost no peak displacement was observed for non-imprinted (NIP) films. Whole tomatoes were blended into a liquid and spiked with CHL; the sensor was able to detect CHL residues down to 0.5 μg kg-1, significantly below the tolerance level established by the US Environmental Protection Agency of 1.4 mg kg-1. Stable values were reached after about 30-min incubation in test samples. Control samples (unspiked processed tomatoes) produced peak shifts both in MIP and NIP films; however, this matrix effect did not affect the detection of CHL in the spiked samples. These promising results support the application of photonic MIP sensors as an economical and field-deployable screening tool for the detection of CHL in crops.

Abstract
Mechanochromic shape memory photonic crystals can memorize their original structures and recover the inherent structural colors in response to external stimuli; thereby they have rendered various important optical applications. Unfortunately, most existing shape memory polymers are thermoresponsive, and the corresponding mechanochromic characteristics are limited by the heat-demanding programming process. Besides that, a great majority of current fabrication methodologies suffer from low throughput, hindering the practical applications. Herein, a scalable technology is developed to engineer macroporous shape memory photonic crystals by self-assembling silica colloidal crystals in a polyurethane acrylate/polyethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate/poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate matrix, followed by a wet etching treatment to selectively remove silica colloids. The as-created photonic crystals display a brilliant structural color, which is reversibly tunable with mechanical deformation at ambient conditions. Upon stretching, the reduced interlayer lattice spacing of the photonic crystals leads to a blueshift of the reflection peak position and a significant color change. Importantly, the stretched macroporous film can fix its temporary structures without applying any contact force and simultaneously recover its original configuration and appearance by applying ethanol evaporation-induced capillary pressures. The reversibility and the dependence of templated silica colloid size on mechanochromic characteristics have also been investigated in the research.
