Magnetic nanoparticles coated with poly(p-phenylenediamine-co-thiophene) as a sorbent for preconcentration of organophosphorus pesticides

The authors describe the preparation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with poly(p-phenylenediamine-co-thiophene). The resulting nanoparticles (NPs) are shown to be viable sorbents for use in magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs). The coated NPs were characterized by BET, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Following sorption of OPPs and subsequent desorption with...
