Molecular imprinting technologies have found a niche in separation science. MIPs offer a good alternative to proteinaceous receptors and have been successfully used in affinity-based separations. Furthermore, the polymeric nature of the MIPs bears attractive features for applications that could not be achieved by antibodies or enzymes gas chromatography, solid-phase microextraction, etc. As further fundamental research and apphcation efforts are invested in MIP technologies, it is expected that MIPs will soon be commercialized. MIP-SPE is expected to the first commercial application area.

Molecularly imprinting technology seems to expand every year being more and more frequently applied in various fields of science. Only recently, MIPs started to be employed as chiral sensing interfaces in electrochemistry. 

Aramid nanofibers have been prepared by an electrospinning technology [25]. The addition of LiCl plays an important role both for helping dissolving and in electrospinning because the electrical conductivity of the solution increases. These nanofibers can selectively absorb certain materials. For example, aramid nanofibers can be used to effectively remove endocrine dismptors such as bisphenol A, phenol, and p-hydroquinone from their aqueous solutions. Also, the nanofibers can be used in molecularly imprinted technology.

Li s group has used molecular imprinting technology to build up the microenvironment around a comonomer, hemin, in an attempt to mimic the cytochrome P450 that can catalyze the epoxidation of styrene. Using the designed MIP with three different kinds of oxidants, an obvious enhancement of the conversion rates to products...
