Abstract
Molecular imprinted polymers (MIP) are one of the promising method in
various research area in which artificial receptor sites of targeted molecule were
fabricated on a polymer matrix. These polymers are analogues to naturally occuring
antigen-antibody system. Due to its high recognition capabilty and structural specificity
towards the target molecule, these kind of polymers exhibits wide variety of
applications in various fileds. Among the temendous applications, MIPs in
electrochemical sensing got much attention in recent years. Innovative developments in
nanochemistry again improve its applications in electrochemical sensing. In this
chapter, we detailed the significance of nanostructured MIP focusing on multiwalled
carbon nanotubes as supporting material in elecrochemical sensing applications. It
presents recent progresses associated to molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensors
based multiwalled carbon nanotubes.
Keywords: Applications, Electrochemical sensor, Molecularly imprinted polymer, MWCNTs, Nanostructured MIP.
