Preparation of molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles for selective removal of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in aqueous solution

► Novel molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (nanoMCNs@MIPs) were prepared. ► The nanoMCNs@MIPs have good selectivity for fluoroquinolones. ► The nanoMCNs@MIPs can be used for selective removal of fluoroquinolones in waters.
