Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are smart materials designed to selectively bind certain molecules with a degree of chemical affinity. Molecular imprinting has rapidly become an effective method of imprinting highly specific and selective recognition sites in synthetic polymers. As such, MIPs have generally been referred to as plastic antibodies or synthetic receptors. Over the years, MIPs have increased in popularity to fabricate sensors, 1, 2 in separation methods, 3, 4 in protein crystallization, 5, 6 and in catalysis. 7 MIPs are highly cross-linked polymer networks that are intrinsically stable, robust, and are able to facilitate their application in extreme environments. The functional mechanism is similar to antibodies or enzymes, where detection is based on shape, orientation, and interaction between the molecule and the MIP, much like a lock and key. 3, 8, 9 The imprinting process occurs when polymer networks are generated by either a self-assembly in situ imprinting
