ABSTRACT
Molecular imprinting is a generic technology for the introduction of recognition properties into synthetic polymers. Over the last two decades, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have become a focus of interest for scientists engaged in the devel opment of biological and chemical sensors. This is due to the many and considerable advan tages they possess in comparison to natural receptors, enzymes and antibodies, such as superior stability, low cost and ease of preparation. This chapter will review recent achievements and potential applications of imprinted sensors.
