Synthesis and properties of bisphenol A molecular imprinted particle for selective recognition of BPA from water

► BPA-MIP by the surface molecular imprinting technique with a sol-gel process. ► DTPA as a functional monomer and TEOS as a cross-linker. ► The saturate binding capacity of BPA-MIP is 30.26 μmol g−1. ► BPA-MIP shows an efficient selectivity toward BPA in water phase.
