Drug residues, organic dyes, heavy metals, and other chemical pollutants not only cause environmental pollution, but also have a serious impact on food safety. Timely and systematic summary of the latest scientific advances is of great importance for the development of new detection technologies. In particular, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can mimic antibodies, enzymes and other biological molecules to recognize, enrich, and separate contaminants, with specific recognition, selective adsorption, high affinity, and strong resistance characteristics. Therefore, MIPs have been widely used in chemical analysis, sensing, and material adsorption. In this review, we first describe the basic principles and production processes of molecularly imprinted polymers. Secondly, an overview of recent applications of molecularly imprinted polymers in sample pre-treatment, sensors, chromatographic separation, and mimetic enzymes is highlighted. Finally, a brief assessment of current technical issues and future trends in molecularly imprinted polymers is also presented.

AbstractIn this work the preparation and evaluation of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) based on 2-hydroxyethylmetacrylate (HEMA) for selective recovery of cholesterol from aqueous media are reported. HEMA was used as functional monomer in order to maximize the hydrogen bond forming both in prepolymerization complex and in rebinding experiments which were performed in polar solvents; in particular, an acetonitrile:water (7:3 v/v) mixture was employed. The templating effect is clearly seen in the capacity of the synthesized polymers to bind cholesterol, and their selectivity was evaluated using two steroids quite similar to cholesterol such as progesterone and hydrocortisone which are less effectively bound by the matrices.
