Molecularly
imprinted polymers (MIPs) are polymeric synthetic materials that offer
significant advantages in biosensor technologies. Remarkable features of
biosensors are their easy fabrication, low cost, robust desisn, and great selectivity
and sensitivity. These polymeric structures offer innovative solutions in
biosensor applications owing to their unique structures that provide selective
recognition of target molecules called molecular templates. In this section,
the definition of MIP structures, their history and development process,
synthesis and characterization, use and integration in biosensors, use of these
biosensors in different application areas, comparison of MIP-based biosensors
with traditional methods, advantages, difficulties and future directions, and
multiple topics about MIP-based biosensors are discussed. Thanks to these
innovative platforms offered by MIPs, their use in different application areas
can be expanded and they have the potential to revolutionize biosensor
technology.
