Morphology design

Another notable difference between imprinted artificial antibodies and natural antibodies lies in the fact that imprinted polymers are classified as cross-linked organic polymers, generally insoluble in common solvents. This characteristic feature makes them attractive and advantageous for application in analytical and separation technology, because imprinted polymers can be used as affinity materials 

In situ molecular imprinting can be defined as a technique for preparing imprinted polymers in a place where the polymers are subsequently utilised. Imprinted polymers prepared by an in situ technique, therefore, require no subse-

The synthesis of molecular precursors responsible for tailored nucle-ation and growth is a key feature in the chemical control of biomineralization. Here we highlight recent studies using simplified model systems that aim to identify aspects of solution chemistry important in (1) silica polymerization and aggregation and (2) the morphological design of calcite crystals.

Blending is an easy strategy for morphological design of block copolymer materials. In general one achieves an effective increase of the volume fraction of the corresponding block by this strategy. As the synthesis of block copolymers never leads... 

Target conductivity for an electrode is around 100 S cm but this value can be reduced to as low as 1 S cm through careful morphological design, and careM use and design of current collection. This allows the use of oxide materials as anodes, removing the metal content and making a more stable cell.
