The presence of functional groups -NH, -CH, -C=O, -C=C and -CO was confirmed by FT-IR. The formation of MIP_DEHP was also confirmed by EDS. Moreover, SAA analysis showed their mesoporous structure. The adsorption capacity was consistent with the isothermal Freundlich adsorption model, and the adsorption kinetics models with a pseudo-second-order reaction. Small, uniform, porous grains were observed in the MIP structure (SEM). ## Keywords - Methacrylamide - Phthalate - Molecularly imprinted polymer - Characterization (materials science) - Materials science - Chemistry - Polymer - Organic chemistry - Nanotechnology - Composite material - Copolymer - Selectivity - Acrylamide - Catalysis --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
