Abstract

The authors describe a nanomaterial for solid-phase extraction of carbendazim. Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (mag-MIP-NPs) were obtained by immobilizing the MIP and a thiolated β-cyclodextrin on the surface of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles coated with gold nanoparticles. Both the recognition sites of the MIP and the hydrophobic cavities in the β-cyclodextrin contribute to the specific molecular recognition and extraction of carbendazim. The mag-MIP-NPs have an apparent adsorption capacity of 190 mg⋅g‾1. Spiked vegetables were analyzed by using this material for extraction of carbendazim prior to its determination by ultra performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). Recoveries range from 90.5 % to 109 %, and the detection limit is 3.0 pg⋅mL‾1.

Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (mag-MIP-NPs) were synthesized based on a thiolated β-cyclodextrin on the magnetic nanocomposite. Due to the synergetic dual recognition and separation effect, mag-MIP-NPs showed the good adsorption capacity of 190 mg⋅g‾1 for carbendazim.
