MOLECULARLY IMPRINTED POLYMERS SELECTIVE FOR TOBACCO SPECIFIC NITROSAMINES AND METHODS FOR USE THEREOF Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A24B15/18 A24D3/06 C08F220/54 C08F220/56 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to molecularly imprinted polymers selective for at least one tobacco specific nitrosamine (TSNA), the polymer being obtained using materials comprising a TSNA or a structural analogue thereof, a neutral functional group-containing monomer selected from a group comprising 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA), acrylamide, methacrylamide, glycerol monoacrylate and glycerol monomethacrylate, and a hydrophobic cross-linking agent. The invention also describes a method of producing a molecularly imprinted polymer, a smoking article, a tobacco smoke filter and a kit for detecting, quantitative determination and separation of nitrosamines contained in a sample, which include a molecularly imprinted polymer, a method of reducing content of at least one TSNA in a tobacco product and a method of producing tobacco material.

EFFECT: obtaining molecularly imprinted polymers which are selective for nitroso-containing compounds.
