Abstract: Biomimetic strategies aim at mimicking properties of natural materials or compounds within synthetic matrices. Among those, receptors synthesized for the highly selective recognition of analytes have attracted special interest, because man-made structures have several advantages over natural ones: they are usually more cost-effective, rugged, and stable on the long-term scale. So far, three different approaches have proven most useful for chemical sensors: aptamers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). This chapter reviews some of the most recent strategies to combine biomimetic receptors with mass-sensitive sensors
