Abstract
In this thesis, synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers with molecular recognition for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as well as the application of the polymers as pre-concentration and clean-up sorbents in the determination of these compounds in various environmental matrices is described. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes are also investigated as alternative sorbents for the determination of PCBs in aqueous environment.
