An alternative clean-up column for the determination of polychlorinated biphenyls in solid matrices
Ndunda, Elizabeth; Mizaikoff, Boris; Mizaikoff, B. (RSC, 2015-11)The need for continuous monitoring of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has necessitated the development of analytical techniques that are sensitive and selective with minimal reagent requirement. In light of this, ... -
Molecularly imprinted polymers for the analysis and removal of polychlorinated aromatic compounds in the environment: a review
Ndunda, Elizabeth N.; Mizaikoff, Boris (RSC, 2016)Synthetic receptors and in particular molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are gaining relevance as selective sorbent materials and biomimetic recognition elements for analyzing polychlorinated aromatic compounds (PACs) ... -
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes: innovative sorbents for pre-concentration of polychlorinated biphenyls in aqueous environments
Ndunda, Elizabeth N.; Mizaikoff, Boris (RSC, 2015-07-21)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have demonstrated outstanding chemical and mechanical stability, electrical properties, and strong interactions with aromatic compounds owing to the p-electron system on the graphene sheets. Taking ... -

Synthesis of stationary phases that provide group recognition for polychlorinated biphenyls by porogenic fragment template imprinting
Ndunda, Elizabeth N.; Mizaikoff, Boris (WILEY, 2015)Molecular recognition based on imprinted polymers results from the polymerization of functional monomers and cross-linkers in the presence of a target analyte (i.e. template), with subsequent removal of the template to ...
