Molecularly imprinted polymers-based sensors for bisphenol-A: Recent developments and applications in environmental, food and biomedical analysis

EM Hamed, SFY Li - Trends in Environmental Analytical Chemistry, 2022 - Elsevier
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a well-known endocrine-disrupting industrial compound that is found
throughout many aspects of our daily life; from the water we drink and the food we eat to the
babies' bottles and children's plastic toys. Chronic exposure to BPA may result in some
severe medical issues which account for the great importance of its monitoring and removal
from everyday products. The use of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for that purpose
has acquired a lot of traction in recent decades. MIPs are artificial antibodies with selective …
