15. A molecularly imprinted polymer prepared by the combination of steps consisting essentially of:
-
(i) providing a polymerizable composition mixture for suspension polymerization including at least two acrylate monomers, at least one porogenic solvent, at least one fluorine-containing liquid, at least one fluorine-containing copolymer, and at least one print molecule; (ii) executing suspension polymerization on the polymerizable composition mixture to yield substantially spherical polymer particles; (iii) isolating the spherical particles from the porogenic solvent and the fluorine-containing liquid; and (iv) removing the print molecule from the spherical particles. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
