Abstract:
Bisphenols are the most-known endocrine disrupting compounds. Due to the possible migration of these compounds from plastics used as food packaging, the food may become contaminated. During past years, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were excessively being used as sorbents for bisphenols preconcentration from food samples. This review intended to comprehensively discuss and evaluate the recent applications of MIPs in determination of bisphenols in food samples. The fundamentals of MIPs devoted to preconcentration of bisphenols are outlined. Recent studies were discussed in terms of food sample preparation, determination methods, MIP synthesis, and extraction procedure aspects. The significant aspects of applications of the molecular imprinting polymers in food chemistry are evaluated focusing majorly on literature appeared in the last years.

Molecular Weight of Step-Growth Polymers
As the step-growth polymerization involves step-wise condensation of monomers, the molecular weight also builds up eventually. Consequently, high molecular weight polymers are obtained at the late stages of the polymerization, where 99% of monomers have been consumed.
