D. Kriz et al., INTRODUCTION OF MOLECULARLY IMPRINTED POLYMERS AS RECOGNITION ELEMENTS IN CONDUCTOMETRIC CHEMICAL SENSORS, Sensors and actuators. B, Chemical, 33(1-3), 1996, pp. 178-181
The construction and demonstration of a conductometric chemical sensor
based on a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) is re ported. Benzyltr
iphenylphosphonium ions, chosen as a model, were used as the analyte.
The MIP based sensors gave, when exposed to the analyte, a significant
ly higher conductivity reading than the reference sensors. Furthermore
, the use of molecularly imprinted polymers as artificial recognition
systems in sensor technology is discussed.
