Abstract

Novel magnetic molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (MMIPs) using N,N-p-phenylene bismethacryl amide as a cross linker and super paramagnetic core–shell nanoparticle as a supporter for use in controlled release were prepared by precipitation polymerization. Novel cross-linking agents were synthesized by the reaction of methacryloyl chloride with p-phenylenediamine. Then, the Fe3O4 nanoparticles were encapsulated with a SiO2 shell and functionalized with –CH=CH2 and MMIPs were further prepared by using methacrylic acid as a functional monomer, N,N-p-phenylene bismethacryl amide as a cross-linking agent and betamethasone as template. Magnetic non-MIPs were also prepared with the same synthesis procedure as with MMIPs only without the presence of the template. The obtained MMIPs were characterized by using transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrum, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and the vibrating sample magnetometer. The performance of the MMIPs for the controlled release of betamethasone was assessed and results indicated that the magnetic MIPs also had potential applications in drug controlled release.
