4-Nitrophenol surface molecularly imprinted polymers based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes for the elimination of paraoxon pollution

► 4-Nitrophenol imprinted polymers based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes were prepared. ► The MWCNT surface imprinting polymers could both adsorp 4-nitrophenol and catalyze the hydrolysis of paraoxon. ► The material has prospect on solving the problem of pollution caused by paraoxon in water thoroughly.
