Preparation and characterization of Co(II) ion-imprinted composite membrane based on a novel functional monomer

In this paper, a novel functional monomer, N-(pyrrolidin-2-ylmethyl) methacrylamide (PMMA), was synthesized. Using Co(II) ions as the template, 2,2-azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDGMA) as the crosslinking agent, twenty-seven Co(II) ion-imprinted composite membranes (Co(II)-PMMAIICM1~27) and their corresponding non-imprinted composite membranes (PMMA-NICM1~27) were prepared.
