  • Molecularly imprinted polymer
    Patent number: 8086415
    Abstract: A computer aided rational molecular design method that includes establishing a virtual library of functional monomers each having a portion that is capable of polymerizing and a functional group that is capable of interacting with a template molecule with the aid of a computer, designing a molecular model of a biological template molecule by a computer facilitated molecular mechanical method and screening said virtual library of functional monomers and selecting those monomers which have the highest binding score to the template molecule by their functional group.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 1, 2007
    Date of Patent: December 27, 2011
    Assignee: Cranfield University
    Inventors: Beining Chen, Richard Michael Day, Sreenath Subrahmanyam, Sergiy Anatoliyovich Piletsky, Olena Volodimirivna Piletska, Anthony Peter Francis Turner
  • Polymerisation method, polymers and uses thereof
    Patent number: 7449497
    Abstract: Monomers (e.g. thinphenes) are caused to polymerise by mixing them with an oxidising agent (and generally a solvent comprising water) and irradiating the mixture with light (visible or UV). Polymer properties can be varied by doping or chemical modification. Uses include sensor elements for assays and electrical components such as electrodes.

  • Molecularly imprinted polymer
    Publication number: 20030134296
    Abstract: To facilitate preparation of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) which specifically binds a particular template substance, a virtual library of functional monomers is screened to find those that interact strongly with a molecular model of the substance. A selected few are then “annealed” with the substance in a computer simulation. This shows the optimum ratios of template substance to individual monomers. An appropriate mixture of monomers is then polymerised in the presence of the template to produce a MIP.
