High Affinity Polymers by Molecular Imprinting for Drug Delivery

Molecular recognition processes found in nature have always inspired scientists to mimic these systems in synthetic materials such as molecular imprinted polymers. Selective receptors within a polymer have a huge range of applications such as in separation processes, analytical chemistry, sensors, catalysis, drug discovery and therapeutics. In this last area in particular, polymers are having a central role in recent developments and materials with molecular recognition ability can respond to new challenges and opportunities.
