Abstract

Introduction: A molecular imprinting is one of the fascinating modification methods that employ molecules as targets to create geometric cavities for recognition of targets in the polymeric matrix. This method provides a broad versatility to imprint target molecules with different size, three-dimensional structure and physicochemical features. In contrast to the complex and time-consuming laboratory surface modification procedures, this method offers a rapid, sensitive, inexpensive, easy-to-use, and selective approach for the diagnosis, screening and monitoring disorders. Owing to their unique features such as high selectivity, physical and chemical robustness, high stability, low-cost and reusability of this method, molecularly imprinted polymers have become very attractive materials and been applied in various applications from separation to detection.
