Abstract: We present functional micropatterns fabricated using functional polymers. The functional polymer is MIP (molecularly imprinted polymer), which can be produced by "molecular imprinting technique* to create "synthetic receptors or binding sites" for bio/chemical detective technology. Those binding sites have specific molecular recognition functions for targeting organic or bio molecules. MIP's micropatterns have been integrated for fabricating chemical sensors, diagonostic bio-sensors, and for drug delivery systems. We also produced homogeneous MIP's microparticles, which have high affinity receptor sites only by designing a microfluidic reactor. © 2007 Materials Research Society
