Abstract: This article summarises our work on the development of voltammetric sensors based on molecularly imprinted polymers. Several recognition elements and integration strategies were used: 1.membranes electropolymerised at the electrode surface; 2.casting of polymeric membranes by drop-coating a solution of pre-formed polymer (polyphosphazene) and template in a low- boiling-point solvent on to the electrode surface; 3.preparation of composite membranes containing conductive material (graphite or carbon black), acrylic-type molecularly imprinted polymers (small particle size), and PVC as binder; and 4.in-situ polymerisation of a thin layer of acrylic imprinted polymer deposited on the electrode surface by spin coating. All the options evaluated offer the possibility of controlling electrode characteristics such as hydrophobic/hydrophilic character, permeability, or film thickness, which are essential for obtaining good sensor performance
