Abstract: A polymerization process, preferably a living radical polymerisation process, is carried out in the presence of a template substance, to produce molecularly imprinted polymers (“MIPs”). It is controlled so that the products are quite small (500-106 Daltons) so that they are soluble or form colloidal suspensions. The template substances are immobilized templates, which can be re-used. Immobilized templates are also useful for purification of MIP solutions/suspensions by affinity chromatography.
