Abstract :
A novel type of molecular imprinted membrane was prepared from the complexation solution of α-tocopherol (α-Toc) template and calix[4]resorcarenes host with PSf as scaffold polymer by phase inversion technique. The adsorption properties were tunable by slight modification of the calix[4]resorcarenes unit, whereby the recognition of the α-tocopherol towards its analogues by permselective experiments was achieved.
