Another technique was proposed as an efficient method for the preparation of surface-template resins. In surface imprinting, a functional surfactant (emulsilier) that is capable of binding metal ions and functions as a vinyl monomer must orient at the interface between the matrix monomers and water and emulsify the mixture.

Synthetic methods include the use of silanes bearing a chiral group for silylating the surface of the porous sol-gel silica, the use of such silanes as monomers or co-monomers in the polycondensation, the physical entrapment of chiral molecules, the imprinting of SG materials with chiral templates and the creation of chiral pores, and the induction of chirality in the matrix skeleton itself 48...
