Cover Story: Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic recognition materials obtained by the polymerisation of functional and cross-linking monomers in the presence of a template. They are attractive, not only for their recognition properties that are close to those of natural receptors and their availability for a wide range of targets, but also for their superior chemical and physical stability compared to biological receptors. Since the late 1990s, the continuous development of MIPs as sensing elements in bio-/chemo-sensors has been driven by the need for simple devices with optimum selectivity for the detection of various compounds in different fields.
