As one of the most important researches of electrochemical sensors，molecular imprinted sensors have obtained great achievements over the past 10 years.Several procedures are used to prepare molecularly imprinted polymer(MIP) films on transducer surfaces，including drop-coating or spin-coating of a solution on a pre-prepared polymer，in situ chemical polymerization and electropolymerization.In comparison with other procedures of MIP film preparation，the MIP films prepared by electropolymerization have superior properties with respect to adherence to the transducer surface，simplicity and speed of preparation，easy control of the film thickness and high reproducibility.This review describes a class of polymers prepared by electropolymerization that employs the concept of molecular imprinting for chemical sensing.The choice of functional monomers and the removal of templates in the electrosynthesized preparation of MIP films are discussed.An evaluation of literatures on these molecularly imprinted polymers(MIPs) applied as recognition elements of several types of chemical sensors is described.The possibilities for routine work in the near future are presented.
