Molecularly imprinted polymers for biosensor applications

摘要

Molecular imprinting, which allows the formation of specific recognition sites in polymer matrices, is now applied widely for developing robust sensors for industry, diagnostics, and environmental analysis. In these sensors, molecularly imprinted polymers are coupled with appropriate transducers for the quantitative detection. This article describes recent trends and some examples of sensors based on molecular imprinting. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. [References: 29]
