Applications of molecularly imprinted polymers and perspectives for their use as food quality trackers

MXene-modified molecularly imprinted polymers as an artificial bio-recognition platform for efficient electrochemical sensing: progress and perspectives

“…Finally, after the extraction of the template, the prepared MIPs are incubated in the sample having the analyte which allows the rebinding of the analyte to the imprinted sites. [20][21][22][23] The selection of the monomer for the synthesis of MIPs is a crucial step. Monomers are the units responsible for the formation of imprinted sites and generally form covalent or non-covalent binding with the template molecule.…”

Application of Molecularly Imprinted Electrochemical Biomimetic Sensors for Detecting Small Molecule Food Contaminants

“…Molecular imprinting technology (MIT) follows the “key and lock” principle for synthesizing polymers with specific recognition and selective adsorption to target molecules. These polymers are known as MIPs [ 23 ]. Although there are several production methods, they all follow the same basic pattern.…”

Conductive imprinted polymeric interfacially modified electrochemical sensors based on covalently bonded layer-by-layer assembly of Gr/Au with flower-like morphology for sensitive detection of 2,4,6-TCP

“…12 Although the preparation technology of the abovementioned molecular imprinted membranes has been successfully applied in various sensing technologies, there are still many challenging issues. 13,14 First of all, the polymer lm prepared by the in situ polymerization of the pre-polymerization solution on the surface of the working electrode, due to the heterogeneity between the liquid-solid interface, the adhesion strength between the polymer lm and the electrode surface is low and difficult to control. 15 Moreover, there is a potential risk that the prepared imprinted polymer lm may detach easily from the sensor surface during its usage or when removing the imprinted template molecules, 16 which will eventually lead to a low service life of the sensor and low repeatability of the experiment.…”
