Reusability of MTCFs@SIP@CBMA
Reusability played a very important role for the popularization and
application of imprinted materials. In this section, after adsorbing BSA
with the same MTCFs@SIP@CBMA and MTCFs@NIP@CBMA, the adsorbed template
BSA was eluted with 6% HAc. The adsorption-desorption process was
repeated eight times and the adsorption amount was measured each time.
As shown in Figure 11a, the adsorption capacity of MTCFs@SIP@CBMA on BSA
only lost 4.76% after eight cycles. This loss was caused by the
incomplete template elution and the destruction of the imprinting sites
due to repeated elution processes. Compared with MTCFs@SIP@CBMA, due to
the absence of imprinting sites on MTCFs@NIP@CBMA, the effect of the
elution procedure on its adsorption capacity was negligible. Moreover,
the morphology of MTCFs@SIP@CBMA after eight cycles of recycling was
observed. The SEM and TEM photos are shown in Figure 11b and c. It can
be seen that MTCFs@SIP@CBMA maintained a good hollow tubular structure.
The VSM curve of MTCFs@SIP@CBMA after eight repeated cycles is shown in
Figure 11d. It was observed that the repeated elution process hardly had
effect on the magnetic properties of MTCFs@SIP@CBMA. The specific
saturation magnetization after eight uses was 6.11 emu/g. Based on the
above analysis results, MTCFs@SIP@CBMA possessed excellent reusability,
which provided a possibility for further application expansion.
