Abstract:Introduction
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are recognition elements with specific cavities designed for a particular target molecule. Recently, MIPs have been used in various applications explicitly requiring molecular recognition. In MIPs, the crosslinking monomers and functional monomers, having an affinity with a target molecule, are copolymerized in the presence of the target or the template molecule. Upon selective removal of the template molecule, imprinted cavities… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
