“…The cross-linked nature of the polymer gives rise to distinct physical advantages over their biological counterparts. Enabling MIPs to resist harsh physical conditions (extreme pH and temperatures) that would render biological receptors useless [ [7] , [8] , [9] ]. This has led to MIPs being deployed into numerous fields, including chemical separation, chromatography, affinity materials for sensors, binding assays, catalysis, and sorbents for solid phase extraction, to name just a few [ [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] ].…”
