Abstract: Molecularly imprinted polymers have been used as the sensitive materials and recognition elements of chemical sensors. In this chapter, the classification of molecular imprinting techniques and methods of preparing molecularly imprinted polymer for developing the sensitive film of sensors were summarized, and their recent research progress was reviewed. The recognition mechanism of molecularly imprinting sensors to template molecules was described by using the theories behind the dynamics, thermodynamics, equilibrium adsorption, steric action, and molecular clusters. In addition, the factors that affect the selectivity of molecularly imprinting sensors and the routes for selectivity improvement were discussed
