Restricted access molecularly imprinted polymers (RAMIPs) are hybrid materials that present selective binding sites for a template (or similar molecules), and an external hydrophilic layer that avoids the binding of proteins to the material, making them appropriate for the sample preparation of protein fluids.
ResumoOs polímeros de impressão molecular são materiais sintéticos dotados de sítios específicos de reconhecimento. Esses materiais são obtidos por reações de polimerização que fixam, estrategicamente, monômeros funcionais ao redor de uma molécula modelo de acordo com os grupos ligantes e com a estereoquímica de ambas as moléculas. Os MIPs têm sido amplamente empregados em procedimentos de preparo de amostras, como extração e microextração em fase sólida, extração sortiva em barra de agitação, extração com adsorvente magnético, microextração com sorvente empacotado, entre outras. Este artigo de revisão tem como objetivo apresentar o que há de mais recente no emprego de MIP para extração de compostos orgânicos, evidenciando as vantagens de cada aplicação, bem como as mais promissoras tendências que sustentam a evolução e o aperfeiçoamento de cada técnica.

AbstractMolecularly imprinted polymers are synthetic materials with molecular recognition ability. These materials are obtained by polymerization reactions that fix the functional monomers around the template molecule according with the binding groups and the stereochemistry of both molecules. The MIPs have been extensively used in several applications with emphasis for sample preparation procedures as solid phase extraction, solid phase microextraction, extraction by magnetic sorbents, microextraction by packed sorbent among others. So, the objective of this review is to present the novelty in MIP use for organic compounds extraction and point out the advantages of each application, as well as what is most promising in the evolution and improvement of each technique.
