The proposed way represents a simplification of a synthetic schemeproposed by L¨¹bke et al.[1] for covalent imprinting. Comparison of extraction yields of thenovel polymer, a non imprinted polymer and an imprinting polymer, prepared by theoriginal procedure demonstrates the binding capacity of the proposed polymer, which is inprinciple applicable to solid phase extraction (SPE) of dioxin. %K Molecularly imprinted polymers %K non-covalent approach %K 2 %K 3 %K 7 %K 8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin. %U http://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/6/8/915
