Area of Science:

  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Molecular imprinting is a versatile technique for creating synthetic polymers with high molecular recognition capabilities.
  • Traditional molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) primarily focus on selective binding, with limited built-in signaling mechanisms.
  • There is a growing need for MIPs that not only recognize target molecules but also provide a detectable signal upon binding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present signaling molecularly imprinted polymers (SMIPs) that exhibit a response to specific binding events.
  • To integrate signaling functionalities into MIPs, enhancing their utility beyond simple recognition.
  • To showcase SMIPs capable of inducing spectral shifts in target compounds upon molecular recognition.

Main Methods:
