PG - 1166-73 LID - 10.1016/j.talanta.2011.05.039 [doi] AB - The poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) gel is a widely studied thermo-responsive material that exhibits discontinuous change in volume when the external temperature is increased. In this paper, PNIPA gel was prepared and applied as a novel polymer coating for fiber-in-tube capillary microextraction of trace Co, Ni and Cd followed by on-line ICP-MS detection. The PNIPA coating was synthesized by using ethylene triethoxysilane (ETEOS) as the cross-linking agent under acidic conditions. This siloxane incorporated PNIPA gel achieves a dramatically rapid response rate when the external temperature is changed. The micro-structure of PNIPA coating was examined by scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Various experimental parameters including pH, temperature, sample flow rate and volume, elution solution and interfering ions affecting the extraction of the target analytes have been carefully investigated and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the limits of detection were 0.45, 4.6 and 6.9 ng L(-1) for Co, Ni and Cd, respectively. With a sampling frequency of 13 h(-1), the relative standard deviations (RSDs) for Co, Ni and Cd were 4.8, 5.1 and 6.4% (C=1 mug L(-1), n=7), respectively. The proposed method had been successfully applied to the determination of Co, Ni and Cd in human urine. To validate the proposed method, certified reference materials of NIES No. 10-b rice flour and GBW07601 (GSH-1) human hair were analyzed and the determined values were in a good agreement with the certified values. The PNIPA coated fiber-in-tube capillary can be reused for more than 150 times without decreasing the extraction efficiency. CI - Copyright (c) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
