MIP Anchoring Onto the Transducer

One convenient MIP integration strategy into an electrochemical sensor is by incorporating small MIP particles into a conductive material [e.g., carbon paste]. MIP particles are 

Compared to the grafting to approach, the grafting from method presents an evident superiority, offering a more homogenous MIP coverage of the sensor s surface with a larger number of cavities and a 100-fold faster diffusion of analyte [45], However, the initiator s immobilization directly onto the surface is usually complex and chemically not tenable [53], 

Another hybrid MIP example is represented by the copolymerization of phenol with a covalently constructed complex between 3-hydroxyphenyl boronic acid (functional monomer) and monosaccharide (template). The copolymer was deposited on a gold electrode by cyclic voltammetry using two successive scans [46]. The obtained polymer presented an irregular morphology with an average thickness of 36 nm.
