Recent developments of molecularly imprinted polymer in CEC.

This review focuses on developments in the field of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for CEC since August 2006. New technique of CEC-based MIP, e.g. covalent approach through the formation of Schiff base, miniemulsion polymerization, non-hydrolytic sol-gel methodology, MIP-derivatized silica monolithic column, are discussed from the view of MIP preparation. Some thoughts on potential future directions are also expressed in this review.
