Abstract
The present invention provides polymerizable monomers that incorporate moieties derived from energy absorbing molecules (EAM). The invention also provides polymers that are based on the monomers. The polymers have unique properties that make them ideally suited for use in diverse analyses, including desorption/ionization mass spectrometry of analytes. The invention also provides a device that incorporates the polymeric compositions of the inventions, methods of using the device to detect, quantify and identify analytes, and a method of preparing a device of the invention.
