Abstract: The invention relates to the use of molecularly imprinted polymer(s) or MIPs, of odorous molecule(s), as deodorant agent in particular for selectively trapping molecules that are the cause of human body odour. More particularly by using MIPs which may be obtained via polymerization, preferably via radical polymerization, of a mixture of: i) optionally one or more polymerization initiator(s); ii) one or more functional monomer(s); iii) one or more crosslinking agent(s); and iv) one or more porogenic solvent(s); it being understood that the polymerization a) or b) is performed in the presence v) of one or more “templates” of target molecule(s) responsible for human body odour. Another subject of the invention concerns a process for preparing MIPs as defined previously, MIPs obtained via this process, and a cosmetic composition comprising at least one MIP as defined previously.

Abstract: A subject matter of the invention is a molecularly imprinted polymer obtained by polymerization of a mixture comprising a silane, a tetra(C1-C4)alkyl orthosilicate, a porogenic solvent and a C14-C20 fatty acid. Cosmetic composition comprising such a polymer. Cosmetic method for preventing and/or treating dandruff of the scalp using such a polymer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing molecular imprint polymers (MIP) by radical polymerization that uses at least one primer including at least two chemical functions capable of forming reactive radicals, thereby providing a locally high radical concentration for priming the polymerization on or about the imprint entity or molecule. The invention also relates to molecular imprint polymers (MIP) that can be obtained by the method of the invention, and to the use thereof in the production of biomimetic biosensors, biomimetic biochips, chemical sensors, specific adsorption separation devices, as a coating, particularly for releasing active ingredients.
