Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymeric (MIP) materials have been broadly considered as promising materials, which significantly advance the maltitudinous analysis fields. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are artificially molded organic materials that possess template molecule specific cavities, i.e., they act like lock and template molecules fit in them like key. MIPs reveal firmer and better binding sites than their natural counterparts. Thus, it is valuable for the synthesis of polymeric materials that have specific molecular recognition. The nonspecific nature of generally used SPE and SPME sorbents (reverse phase bonded silica) led to the growth of more robust and unique MIPs. Such techniques have been increasingly employed in a wide scope of applications such as chromatography, sample pretreatment, purification, catalysts, sensors, and drug delivery, etc., mostly in bioanalytical areas. A major part of them is related to the development of new stationary phases and their application in chromatography and sample pretreatment. Embodiments of molecular imprinted polymer materials have been carried out in a variety of forms such as irregularly ground particles, regular spherical particles, nanoparticles, monoliths in a stainless steel or capillary column, open tubular layers in capillaries, surface-attached thin layers, membranes, and composites, etc. There have been numerous review articles on molecular imprinted polymer issues. In this chapter, MIP composites material use in separation sciences are emphasized comprehensively with an overview of synthesis, characterization, and some significant applications are discussed here too.
