Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have emerged as significant tools in various domains, including fine chemistry and biomedicine, owing to their capacity for selective recognition of target molecules. While substantial progress has been made in MIP preparation techniques and application development, a systematic understanding of strategies to enhance their recognition activity remains underexplored. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies for precisely regulating the imprinting process and improving the recognition separation efficacy. The role of theoretical modeling and experimental titration in designing functional monomers with precise molecular matching has been emphasized. Enhancing site-specific interactions by increasing the quality and density of recognition sites. The review further investigates adsorption and desorption mechanisms in efficient recognition processes, highlighting their significance in practical applications. This review aims to serve as a critical resource for advancing MIP synthesis, optimizing active site functionality, and achieving superior separation performance in complex sample matrices.
