Biomimetic Sensors using of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers

Abstract

Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) is a molecular recognition element which can be obtained by tailor-made procedure. The porosity or permeability of MIP is sensitive to the specific interaction. The phenomenon termed “gate effect” is applicable for simple, highly selective, and quick responsible sensors by simple amperometric method using an electrode on which MIP is grafted.
