Conjugated polymers are widely used in the development of sensors, but even though they are sensitive and robust, they typically show limited selectivity, being cross-sensitive to many substances. In turn, molecular imprinting is a method involving modification of the microstructure of the surface to incorporate cavities, whose shape matches that of the “template”—the analyte to be detected, resulting in high selectivity. The primary goal of this review is to report on and briefly explain the most relevant recent developments related to sensors utilising molecularly imprinted polypyrrole layers and their applications, particularly regarding the detection of bioactive substances. The key approaches to depositing such layers and the most relevant types of analytes are highlighted, and the various trends in the development of this type of sensors are explored.

AbstractThis brief overview summarizes some recent developments from our Center for Molecular Imprinting related to the topic of this symposium. After a short presentation of the principle of molecular imprinting and recognition, the use of different materials including hybrids for the formation of the host will be discussed, followed by examples given of different formats used such as small polymer beads. In closing, potential directions for the next generation of molecular imprinting technology will be discussed.

Abstract Molecular imprinting technology is an attractive, cost-effective, and robust alternative to address the limitations of highly selective natural receptors, such as antibodies and aptamers. The field of molecular imprinting has seen a recent surge in growth, and several commercially available products are of great interest for sample cleanup to improve mycotoxin analysis. Current research trends are in specific applications of imprinting technology for small-molecule sensing and chromatographic cleanup procedures in new commodities. The choice of components and imprinting template are critical factors for mycotoxin recovery or detection optimization. Template mimics offer a means to reduce toxic exposure during polymer synthesis and address issues of leaching template from the imprinted polymer. Recent reports of molecularly imprinted polymers for aflatoxins, ochratoxins, fumonisins, fusaric acid, citrinin, patulin, zearalenone, deoxynivalenol, and T-2 toxin are reviewed.

A series of fluorescent molecularly imprinted nanogels to detect irinotecan (CPT11) were prepared and characterized. A set of amino acids and napthalimide polymerisable derivatives allowed to obtain polymers as soluble fluorescent nanoparticles by high dilution imprinted synthesis. The direct detection of irinotecan in human plasma was obtained by fluorescence quenching of the naphtalimide-based imprinted materials. The plasma sample treated with acetonitrile allowed the detection of irinotecan in the 10nM – 30μM range. The LOD was 9.4 nM, with within-run variability 10% and day to day variability 13%.<br>

Molecular imprinting technology has become an interesting research area to the preparation of specific sorbent material for environmental and occupational sample preparation techniques (1). In the molecular imprinting technology, specific binding sites have been formed in polymeric matrix, which often have an affinity and selectivity similar to antibody-antigen systems (2). In molecular imprinted technology, functional monomers are arranged in a complementary configuration around a template molecule, then, cross-linker and solvent are also added and the mixture is treated to give a porous material containing nono-sized binding sites. After extraction of the template molecule by washing, vacant imprinted sites will be left in polymer, which are available for rebinding of the template or its structural analogue (3). The stability, convention of preparation and low cost of these materials make them particularly attractive (4). These synthetic materials have been used for capillary electrochromatography (5), chromatography columns (6), sensors (7), and catalyze system (8). Depending on the molecular imprinting approach, different experimental variables such as the type and amounts of functional monomers, porogenic solvent, initiator, monomer to cross-linker ratio, temperature, and etc may alter the properties of the final polymeric materials. In this work, chemometric approach based on Central Composite Design (CCD) was used to design the experiments as well as to find the optimum conditions for preparing appropriate diazinon molecularly imprinted polymer.
