Abstract: Molecular imprinting technique(MIT) is an emerging frontier science that is developed in recent years by utilizing the advantages of macromolecular synthesis,molecular design,molecular recognition and bionic bio-engineering.Molecular imprinted polymers(MIPs) possess both advantages of recognition of natural antibody and strong resistance against corrosion of macromolecule.Therefore,MIPs are used extensively in biotechnology,clinical medicine,environmental monitoring and food industries etc.In this paper,the principle of molecular imprinting is introduced and the methods that are newly developed for the preparation of molecular imprinted polymers have been reviewed.The use of molecularly imprinted polymers in microanalysis is mainly discussed.
