An acrylamide molecularly imprinted polymer was synthesized by precipitation polymerization using propionamide as a template.The conditions of preparation were optimized.The imprinted polymer was evaluated by the kinetic and selective adsorption experiments.The results showed that the imprinted functional sorbent exhibited good recognition and selective ability,a faster kinetics for the adsorption of acrylamide than that made by the bulk polymerization method.The max adsorptive capacity was 6.67 mg/g.
