Abstract: Molecular imprinting is becoming increasingly recognized as a technique for the ready preparation of polymeric materials containing recognition sites of predetermined speficity. In many instances molecularly imprinted polymers show binding affinities approaching those demonstrated by antigen-antibody systems. The preparation of molecular imprints in synthetic polymers is presented. The experimental parameters affecting the success of imprint formation are discussed. The application of molecular imprinting to chromatography, sensor technology, immunoassay, directed synthesis and enzyme and receptor mimicry is described
