Molecular imprinting technology (MIT), often described as a method of making a molecular
lock to match a molecular key, is a technique for the creation of molecularly imprinted …

Hydrogels are hydrophilic, highly water swellable polymer networks capable of converting
chemical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa. They can be tailored regarding …

Herein, we present a survey of the literature covering the development of molecular
imprinting science and technology over the years 2004–2011. In total, 3779 references to …

Forty years after the first reports on stimuli-responsive phase transitions in synthetic
hydrogels, the first medicines based on responsive components are approaching the …

The detection of specific proteins as biomarkers of disease, health status, environmental
monitoring, food quality, control of fermenters and civil defence purposes means that …

Molecular recognition is a fundamental and ubiquitous process that is the driving force
behind life. Natural recognition elements–including antibodies, enzymes, nucleic acids, and …

Molecular imprinting is a technique that is used to create artificial receptors by the formation
of a polymer network around a template molecule. This technique has proven to be …

Inspired by the recognition mechanism of biological molecules, molecular imprinting
techniques (MITs) are imparted with numerous merits like excellent stability, recognition …

Hydrogels are formed when a three‐dimensional polymeric network is loosely crosslinked.
They are swollen by water but not dissolved in it. Hydrogels may display reversible sol–gel …
