    Thin Film Microextraction: Towards Faster and More Sensitive Microextraction
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Ölçer, Yekta Arya; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Tascon, Marcos; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Boyacı, Ezel; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Thin film microextraction (TFME) is an analytical tool that has been proven to be suitable for integrated sampling and sample preparation of a wide variety of routine and on-site applications. Compared to the traditional microextraction techniques, the most important advantage of TFME is its enhanced sensitivity due to the relatively larger extractive phase spread over a larger surface area. The technique, in this way, facilitates fast extraction kinetics and high extractive capacity. Moreover, TFME offers high versatility for device development over classical SPME technologies due to the plethora of available extractive phases, coating methods and geometry options. The goal of this review is to provide a comprehensive summary of the contemporary advances in this exciting field covering novel extractive phases, technological and methodological developments, and relevant cutting-edge applications. Finally, a critical discussion of the future trends on TFME is also presented. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Development of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (mips) as a Solid Phase Extraction (spe) Sorbent for the Determination of Ibuprofen in Water
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017) Ölçer, Yekta Arya; Demirkurt, Merve; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 03.09.

    Ibuprofen is a well-known endocrine disrupter. In this study, highly selective molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with different morphologies were synthesized via precipitation and bulk polymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA) and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM) in the presence of ibuprofen as a template. Non-imprinted polymers (NIPs) were also synthesized via the same procedure in the absence of ibuprofen. Spherical and monolithic MIPs were obtained using different experimental conditions, and the spherical MIP was shown to have better sorption towards ibuprofen. The optimum sample pH, sorbent amount, sample volume, and sorption time were determined to be 8.0, 25.0 mg, 10.0 mL, and 30.0 min, respectively. A methanol water mixture (MeOH:H2O, 80:20, pH 3.0) was employed as an eluent with >97% (±0.8, n = 3) desorption. The MIP demonstrated high selectivity towards ibuprofen in the presence of naproxen and ketoprofen. The validity of the proposed method was checked via spike recovery tests using drinking and tap water samples. The method worked efficiently for both water types, resulting in the recoveries of 97.2% (±0.3, n = 3) and 97.7% (±0.2, n = 3).
