The synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) was carried out by using methacrylic acid asa monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a crosslink and dibutyl phthalate as a mold through theprecipitation polymerization method. The MIP was characterized with FTIR, surface area analyzer,SEM-EDS and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. The MIP adsorption ability test variables fordibutyl phthalate were time and concentration. The FTIR indicates that the functional groups –OH,–C=O and –C=C contribute to the formation of MIP and the SEM-EDS analysis showed that theprepared MIP resembles as beads. The MIP’s ability to adsorb dibutyl phthalate is better than NIP andthe optimum time to adsorb dibutyl phthalate is 60 min.
