Molecularly imprinted polymers based on deep eutectic solvents as a greenest materials for selective extraction of emerging contaminants from complex samples

Some of the reagents applied in the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) may impact on health and the environment. Thus, a new generation of promising green chemicals are nowadays introduced and investigated, including deep eutectic solvents (DESs). DESs seems to be a reasonable choice as they are characterized as non-toxic, low cost, easy to prepare and biodegradable chemicals. This review presents the information on imprinted materials prepared using versus polymerization techniques on which DESs were applied as a more green reagents. Paper presents the benefits and roles of DESs application in the synthesis of MIPs and their potential application area such as selective and reversible sorbents/resins in analytes extraction process as well as chromatographic stationary phases. Furthermore, the specific fields of application of new type of DES-based MIPs in environmental, food and biological samples analysis are described and the future remarks in the area of DES-based MIPs are discussed.
