Abstract: Molecularly imprinted polymers are crosslinked macromolecular structures endowed with specific binding cavities for a template moiety. Their selectivity and stability against harsh conditions coupled with their easy and economical fabrication have fueled various research endeavors in a myriad of applications, such as chromatographic separation, solid phase extraction, sensors, catalysts, and drug delivery. The chapter focuses on the fabrication aspects of molecularly imprinted polymers and gives an insight into the components and various methods employed for their production. Limitations of conventional methods have driven the development of novel techniques to generate water-compatible molecularly imprinted polymers and protein imprinted polymers. The chapter further showcases recent advances in the fabrication of molecularly imprinted polymers, such as use of supercritical fluid, epitope imprinting, and surface imprinting to overcome the drawbacks associated with conventional methods of molecularly imprinted polymer fabrication
