One of the trends in analytical chemistry is associated with designing and developing new types of sample preparation techniques, which might significantly increase the efficiency and selectivity of the analytes isolation or/and preconcentration process. One of the most widely employed solutions are selective sorption materials, defined as molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), as well as the sorbents with the molecular fingerprint. Due to their simple preparation protocol, mechanical, thermal and chemical stability and selectivity, MIPs have found application as a stationary phase in separation techniques such as liquid chromatography or capillary electrophoresis, in electrochemical sensors or as a specific sorption medium in solid phase extraction (SPE) technique. The preparation of a new type of polymer material is based on a specific template molecule using selected polymerization technique and characterization of the morphological and physicochemical properties of the obtained MIP. At the end, the studies which concern the suitability and usability of the obtained MIP material under real conditions, i.e. in the analysis of environmental samples (selectivity and efficiency of the isolation and/or preconcentration of analytes from environmental samples characterized by the complex matrix) should be performed. The following chapter contains the basic information about the MIP preparation protocols and potential fields of application of these selective sorption materials in analytical and environmental chemistry.
