ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces molecularly imprinted nanocomposite,
molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with embedded gold nano-
particles, as sensing material that can be applied to construction of
sensor chips for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors, whereby
MIPs work as molecular recognition elements and gold nanoparti-
cles as signal enhancer. Even in organic solvent, molecularly im-
printed nanocomposite enables SPR sensors to sensitively detect a
low-molecular-weight organic compound, such as an agrochemical.
