Abstract: Abstract Since the first reports in the early 1970s, molecular imprinting has evolved as a powerful technique with a variety of applications, ranging from trace analysis and sample pre-concentration to molecularly imprinted sensing devices and online extraction systems. In this entry, the authors outline the principles of molecular imprinting and the main approaches toward synthesis of such materials and discuss their most common applications, including the use of imprinted polymers for the recognition of biological macromolecules, as potential alternative media for affinity chromatography stationary phases
