Molecular Imprinted Polymers: A Review

Imprinted Polymers: Versatile New Tools in Synthesis

The use of molecularly imprinted polymers in synthetic organic chemistry is reviewed. These materials are prepared in the presence of a template for which they carry a functional and stereochemical “memory” and can be likened to artificial antibodies or enzymes. Their unique properties have been exploited by the use of imprinted polymers as stereoand regio-selective solid supports in condensati...

Chemical recognition in cell-imprinted polymers.

A glass slide covered with bacteria is pressed into another glass slide coated with partially cured polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The PDMS is hardened and the cells are removed to create a textured surface whose indentations preferentially capture the same type of bacteria when a mixture of bacteria is flowed over it. Overcoating the cell-imprinted PDMS with methylsilane groups causes the result...
