Molecular imprinting is known as an arti cial molecular recognition based technique in which a polymer network is formed with geometrically and chemically speci c binding sites complementary to the desired template molecule [1]. In principle, com- mercially available or chemically synthesized functional monomers are chosen to create a complex with the desired template via covalent chemistry or noncovalent interactions such as hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, Van der Waals forces and electrostatic interactions [2, 3].
