Core-shell polymers represent a class of composite particles comprising of minimum two dissimilar
constituents, one at the center known as a core which is occupied by the other called shell. Core-shell molecularly
imprinting polymers (CSMIPs) are composites prepared via printing a template molecule (analyte) in the coreshell
assembly followed by their elimination to provide the everlasting cavities specific to the template molecules.
Various other types of CSMIPs with a partial shell, hollow-core and empty-shell are also prepared. Numerous
methods have been reported for synthesizing the CSMIPs. CSMIPs composites could develop the ability to identify
template molecules, increase the relative adsorption selectivity and offer higher adsorption capacity. Keen
features are measured that permits these polymers to be utilized in numerous applications. It has been developed
as a modern technique with the probability for an extensive range of uses in selective adsorption, biomedical
fields, food processing, environmental applications, in utilizing the plant's extracts for further applications, and
sensors. This review covers the approaches of developing the CSMIPs synthetic schemes, and their application
with special emphasis on uses in the biomedical field, food care subjects, plant extracts analysis and in environmental
studies.
