Molecularly imprinted polymer membranes were synthesized and used for solid-phase extraction of atrazine from diluted aqueous solutions. The membranes containing artificial recognition sites for atrazine were prepared by co-polymerization of methacrylic acid, tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate, and oligourethaneacrylate in the presence of atrazine. This resulted in formation of the molecularly imprinted polymer in the form of thin, flexible, and mechanically stable membranes. Extraction of template molecules lead to formation of sites in the polymeric network, which are complementary to atrazine in shape and arrangement of functional groups. Several organic solvents as well as different polymeric porogens were used to obtain membranes with high fluxes. Reference polymeric membranes were prepared with the same monomer composition but in the absence of atrazine. The atrazine-imprinted membranes showed high affinity to atrazine together with the significantly stronger adsorption capability to this herbicide than to structurally similar compounds (simazine, prometryn, metribuzin).
