Molecular imprinting is apromising technique for the preparation of polymers with predeterminedselectivity and high affinity. Normally, based on the self-assembly of functional monomers and templates(i.e., imprint molecules), the imprinted polymers are produced by crosslinking polymerizations. The templatesare subsequently removed from the polymer, leaving behind binding sites complementary to the imprint speciesin terms of the shape and the position of functional groups. Recognition of the polymer constitutes aninduced molecular memory, which ...
