Abstract: Owing to the advantages of easy preparation, stability and molecular recognition capacity, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been applied in chromatography separation, solid-phase extraction, mimic enzyme catalysis, electrochemical sensor, and other fields. In recent years, MIPs based on silica materials have been developed rapidly. Here, the preparation, adsorption and recognition proper-ties studies of MIPs based on silicon materials using as matrix and substrate materials are introduced, and the applications of MIPs based on silica materials are reviewed. The prospects for the future development of MIPs based on silica materials is also given
