Correlation between the bending angle and protein sensing properties of molecularly imprinted hydrogel strips with a one-sided porous pattern†
Abstract
A visual observation of the bending angle changes for the novel and easy detection of proteins is introduced in this study by fabricating bovine serum albumin (BSA) imprinted hydrogel strips with a one sided 3D porous structure using a combination of polystyrene colloidal crystal templating and the molecular imprinting approach using BSA as the template protein and several functional monomers.
