Title Details

Although targeted as a guide for practicing scientists, this book has a uniquely textbook feel in its coverage of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) – defragmenting the subject by moving from principles to current and future applications. The book opens with discussion of MIP preparation principles, characterization, evaluation, and reporting. Next, chapters take a fresh look at recent developments in the area of molecular imprinting, discussing major developments in research areas where MIPs have found extensive use, such as separation science and sensing. The aim is educating readers and introducing standard operating protocols. Lastly, the third part offers an insight at exciting developments looking towards future challenges and unmet needs, for example: imprinted nanoparticles, drug delivery, imprinting of larger structures, and composite imprinted materials.
