Among these trace elements, Cu (II) playsan essential role in physiological processes in certain amounts. However, atelevated concentrations, Cu (II) can react with molecular oxygen to generatereactive oxygen species (ROS), suggesting their potential damage to biomolecules.In this regard, the residual level of Cu (II) in drinking water is restricted.The United States Environment Protection Agency (USEPA) sets a maximumcontaminant level (MCL) of Cu (II) at 1.3 ppm (20 mM) in drinking water withregards to its toxicity. Therefore, it is important to develop highly sensitiveand selective analytical methods for Cu (II) detection. In aim of thisstudy, for the first time, is to detect Cu (II) ions quantitatively in realtime with high sensitivity and selectivity without any laboratory conditionsand expensive instruments. The study targets to prepare a gravimetricnanosensor for the analysis of Cu (II) ions by combining the excellentselectivity properties of ion imprinted polymers (IIPs) and nanotechnology.Thus, Cu (II) imprinted IIP nanoparticles in a size range of 60 nm wereprepared in the presence of N-methacryloyl-L-histidine functional monomer with2:1 and 1:1 mol ratio. They were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), zeta size distribution analysis and FTIR spectroscopy. Cu (II) imprintedIIPs was then adapted to quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) nanosensor for thereal time detection of Cu (II) ions in aqueous solutions. Several parameters,such as pH, initial ion concentration and selectivity will be investigated toobtain the optimum conditions of nanosensor efficiency.
