Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs): sensing, an explosive new opportunity?

Org Biomol Chem. 2007 Oct 21;5(20):3233-44. doi: 10.1039/b708660a. Epub 2007 Sep 10.

Abstract

Our group is currently developing in-field detection systems alongside the Australian Federal Police Forensic Services utilising molecularly imprinted polymers as the recognition elements. This review looks at MIP synthesis and our perceptions of future directions from an Australian and forensic perspective.
