“…et al, 2003), which were used to detect many different analytes (Augisto et al, 2010) such as barbituric acid (Mirsky et al, 1999), amino acid derivatives (Panasyuk et al, 1999), morphine , atrazine (Kim Y. et al, 2007), benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride , thiophenol (Kröger et al, 1999), glutamic acid (Ouyang et al, 2007), folic acid (Prasad et al, 2010a;Prasad et al, 2010c), tolazoline (Zhang Z. et al, 2010a), tryptophan (Prasad et al, 2010d;Kong Y. et al, 2010), clindamycin , 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (Xie et al, 2010), histamine (Bongaers et al, 2010) Despite the application of MIPs as sensor matrices or separation materials, they suffer from basic limitations associated with the limited concentration of imprinted sites, and the bulk volume of the polymer matrices that requires long diffusion paths of the imprinted host molecules. These limitations lead to inefficient sensing or separation processes .…”
