ABSTRACT
228 Stimuli‐responsive molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have recently received a significant attention because they represent a new generation of intelligent and self‐regulated artificial receptors and have shown great potential in various applications. Photoresponsive materials exhibit unique advantages over systems that rely on other stimuli because light stimulus can be imposed instantly and delivered in specific amounts with high accuracy. In this chapter, we briefly report recent developments in photoresponsive MIPs especially those formed from functional monomer bearing azobenzene moiety.
