MIPs as Tools in Environmental Biotechnology

Adv Biochem Eng Biotechnol. 2015:150:183-205. doi: 10.1007/10_2015_311.

Abstract

Molecular imprints are potentially fantastic constructions. They are selective, robust, and nonbiodegradable if produced from stable polymers. A range of different applications has been presented, everything from separation of enantiomers, via adsorbents for sample preparation before analysis to applications in wastewater treatment. This chapter deals with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as tools in environmental biotechnology, a field that has the potential to become very important in the future.
