Abstract

Nano- and micro-structured materials are a powerful tool in the development of chemical sensors. Surface imprinting of different biogenous species into pre-polymerized, highly cross-linked reaction mixtures (polyurethanes, polystyrenes, sol-gel materials etc.) yields self-assembled structures that are optimized to re-incorporate the template particle. Surface properties are tuned both on the micrometer as well as the molecular scale, as selectivity studies suggest the formation of strongly adapted interaction networks between the polymer and the species used for imprinting.
