Abstract: The bare Fe3O4 nanoparticles were endowed via the solvothermal method. Adding silica coatings to magnetite nanoparticles and using the carbon-carbon double bond on the surface of silicon dioxide (SiO2) modified by 3-(methacryloxy) propyltrimethoxysilane (MPS). Magnetic core-shell molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres (Fe3O4/SiO2@MIPs) were prepared by distillation precipitation polymerization using dibenzothiophene (DBT) as template molecule and methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer. The core-shell structure, morphology and magnetic properties of Fe3O4/SiO2@MIPs were systematically characterized by FT-IR, VSM, TGA. The Fe3O4/SiO2@MIPs exhibited excellent recognition and binding capacity for DBT than nonimprinted polymer (Fe3O4/SiO2@NIPs).
