MWNTs-PDA@MIP for the electrochemical determination of VA was prepared.
PDA promoted the dispersion of MWNTs and anchored long-chain [VOIm]PF6 monomer.
MWNTs-PDA@MIP of VA improved the density of imprinted sites.
SWNTs-COOH was applied to enhance the response signal.
The resulting sensor exhibited sensitive and selective response to VA.
