Abstract

Poly(2-naphthyl acrylate) was first grafted onto silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization to prepare a reversed-phase magnetic adsorbent. The resulting polymer brush displays enhanced extraction efficiency by offering active sites on the surfaces of adsorbent. It was applied to the preconcentration of the non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) indomethacin (InDo) and diclofenac (DIC). These drugs interact with the sorbent through hydrophobic and π-interactions, and via electrostatic attraction. By coupling the magnetic solid-phase extraction with HPLC, a method for analysis of InDo and DIC in the environmental water samples was established. The limits of detection range from 0.62 to 0.64 ng·mL−1, and the relative standard deviations for intra-and inter-day analyses of spiked water samples are <11.9%, and relative recoveries are between 62.1 and 96.7%.

A reversed-phase magnetic adsorbent was prepared by grafting poly(2-naphthyl acrylate) brush on the surface of silica coated magnetic nanoparticles. Due to the two conjugated aromatic rings of the monomer, the polymer brush can effectively extract non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs through strong π- and hydrophobic interactions.
