Synthesis of nano-sized Eu3+-imprinted polymer and its application for indirect voltammetric determination of europium

► Synthesis of nano-sized europium ion imprinted polymer. ► Preparation of carbon paste electrode impregnated with nano-sized imprinted polymer. ► Removal of Cu2+ from the sites as result of recognition of Eu3+ by the IIP. ► Highly selective indirect voltammetric determination of europium.
