Abstract: The molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) prepared from a single template theoretically only have selectivity for the template molecule itself, which limits its application. Dual/multi-template molecularly imprinted polymers (D/MMIPs) not only have the selectivity toward template but also increase the throughput of separation analysis and the range of applications in actual samples. In this review, application progresses of multi/dual-imprinting technology in pharmaceutical analysis, environmental pollutant analysis, biological macromolecule analysis, extraction of active ingredient from natural product, catalysis, transport agent, denitrifying and desulfurizing agent, molecular and ion analysis are discussed. These progresses will advance the further development of molecularly imprinting technology, and D/MMIPs will be used in more fields
