Since the beginning of polymer imprentation, in 1972 by Wulf and Sarhan 1 , this method has<br />

gain interest in the high selective material domain preparation for separation purposes. A molecularly<br />

imprinted polymer is a polymer that formed in the presence of a molecule that is extracted afterwards,<br />

thus leaving complementary molecular cavities behind with specific electronic surroundings. The<br />

affinity for the target molecule suggests that they can be used in applications of advanced separations,<br />

biosensors, the mechanism being similar to antibodies and enzymes.<br />

Whatever the final form of the polymer, particles, membranes 2 or gels, obtaining selective<br />

materials 3 can be made using two methods: phase inversion and polymerisation by auto-assembly. The<br />

functional mechanism of these MIP’s is similar to antibodies and enzymes. Phase inversion method<br />

involves precipitation of the polymer in a suitable solution containing the template molecule. Auto-<br />

assembly method consists in pre-mixing the template and the monomer to establish specific physical<br />

bonding and then, by adding a hardening agent, the structure template-monomer is "frozen" by<br />

polymerization.<br />
