This study successfully fabricated BPA-imprinted poly(4-vinylpyridine-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (poly(4-VP-co-EGDMA)) quartz crystal microbalance (MIP-QCM) sensors on a silica skeleton surface and gold pinholes of silica inverse opal through surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). The sensing features of the two MIP films on the structured silica surface and nano-scale local gold surface were investigated by measuring the resonant frequency change (∆ f ) in QCM sensors. The ∆ f values for the p -MIP (MIP on gold pinholes) and s -MIP films (MIP on silica skeleton surface) were obtained with the ∆ f value of -199 ± 4.9 Hz and -376 ± 19.1 Hz, respectively, whereas for p -/ s -NIP films, the ∆ f values were observed to be -115 ± 19.2 Hz and -174 ± 5.8 Hz by the influence of non-specific adsorption on the surface of the films. Additionally, the imprinting factor (IF) appeared to be 1.72 for p -MIP film and 2.15 for s -MIP film, and the limits of quantitation (LOQ) and detection (LOD) were 54.924 and 18.125 nM ( p -MIP film) and 38.419 and 12.678 nM ( s -MIP film), respectively. Using the Freundlich isotherm model, the binding affinity of the BPA-imprinted films was evaluated. This was measured in an aqueous solution of BPA whose concentration ranged between 45 and 225 nM. It was found that the p -MIP film (m = 0.39) was relatively more heterogeneous than the s -MIP film (m = 0.33), both of which were obtained from the slope of the linear regressions. Finally, the selectivity of the MIP-QCM sensors for BPA detection was determined by measuring the effect of other analogous chemicals, such as bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol AP (BPAP), and bisphenol B (BPB), in aqueous solutions. The selectivity coefficients ( k *) of the two MIP films had ~1.9 for the p -MIP and ~2.3 for the s -MIP films, respectively. The results reveal that, with respect to signal amplification of the QCM sensors, the s-MIP film has better sensing features and faster detection responses than the p -MIP film.
