The effects of preparing molecularly imprinted polymers with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) were investigated in detail. Polymers prepared with the addition of HEMA showed better separation than polymers prepared without adding HEMA. Since HEMA effects the hydrophilic properties of polymers and/or the crosslinked polymer network, the imprinted polymers prepared with HEMA should allow good separation of the target molecule.
