Synthesis and characterisation of metal ion-imprinted polymers for separation of selective rare earth elements

Ion imprinted polymers (IIPs) have received much attention in diverse fields owing to their high selectivity for targeted metal ions. In the present study, lanthanide-ion imprinted polymers (L-IIPs) were synthesised by dissolving stoichiometric amounts of lanthanum ion and selected complexing agents...
