Abstract
Over the past thirty years, molecular imprinting has aroused great research interest for scientists. This attention can be explained by the serious potential advantages of using molecularly imprinted polymers in place of natural receptors and enzymes such as their superior durability, low-cost and easy preparation. Furthermore molecular imprinting is a promising technique for the preparation of polymer composites with predetermined selectivity and high affinity. This mini review examines and evaluates the preparation technique and utility application of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) in several areas. The review begins with a brief introduction to MIPs with a focus on their preparations and continues with application areas. 27 Refs.
