Abstract

Electropolymerized molecularly imprinted polymers (e-MIPs) are interesting selective electrochemically produced materials that imitate biological antibody-antigen systems. This review of recent developments (2018-2020) on the application of e-MIPs in analytical chemistry introduces beginners to this promising field of research, describing their development, common functional monomers, applied characterization techniques, and the instrumental detection techniques used. However, it also intends to tell experienced readers some of the advances and trends: the use of graphene and nanomaterials, recurring to synergetic computational studies (to predict and understand polymerization and molecular imprinted polymer-analyte interactions), the simultaneous detection of more than one analyte, multiplex e-MIP systems, enzymatic template removal, using epitopes as templates for large molecules and bacteria, or the application of electrochemical tags.
