Abstract: The molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized by precipitation polymerization with caffeine as template, methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linker. A selective electrode for the potentiometric determination of caffeine in the aqueous medium was developed using the MIP-modified coated-wire electrode. The electrode shows response for caffeine in a concentration range of 1.0 x 10-8 to 1.0 x 10-5 M with a lower detection limit of 5.0 x 10-9 M. The electrode can be used for more than 100 times. The response time is 15s and the signal is constant in the pH range 6.4 to 9.0. The electrode can be successfully applied for the monitoring of caffeine in syrup sample.
