Abstract
Hydrogels are dynamically evolving 3D networks composed of hydrophilic polymer scaffolds with significant applications in the healthcare and environmental sectors. Notably, protein-based hydrogels mimic the extracellular matrix, promoting cell adhesion. Further enhancing cell proliferation within these scaffolds are matrix-metalloproteinase-triggered amino acid motifs. Integration of cell-friendly modules like peptides and proteins expands hydrogel functionality. These exceptional properties position hydrogels for diverse applications, including biomedicine, biosensors, environmental remediation, and the food industry. Despite significant progress, there is ongoing research to optimize hydrogels for biomedical and environmental applications further. Engineering novel hydrogels with favorable characteristics is crucial for regulating tissue architecture and facilitating ecological remediation. This review explores the synthesis, physicochemical properties, and biological implications of various hydrogel types and their extensive applications in biomedicine and environmental sectors. It elaborates on their potential applications, bridging the gap between advancements in the healthcare sector and solutions for environmental issues.

Abstract
Superabsorbent polymers are new functional polymeric materials that can absorb and retain liquids thousands of times their masses. This paper reviews the synthesis and modification methods of different superabsorbent polymers, summarizes the processing methods for different forms of superabsorbent polymers, and organizes the applications and research progress of superabsorbent polymers in industrial, agricultural, and biomedical industries. Synthetic polymers like polyacrylic acid, polyacrylamide, polyacrylonitrile, and polyvinyl alcohol exhibit superior water absorption properties compared to natural polymers such as cellulose, chitosan, and starch, but they also do not degrade easily. Consequently, it is often necessary to modify synthetic polymers or graft superabsorbent functional groups onto natural polymers, and then crosslink them to balance the properties of material. Compared to the widely used superabsorbent nanoparticles, research on superabsorbent fibers and gels is on the rise, and they are particularly notable in biomedical fields like drug delivery, wound dressing, and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Functional inks for light-based 3D printing are actively being searched for being able to exploit all the potentialities of additive manufacturing. Herein, a fast visible-light photopolymerization process is showed of conductive PEDOT:PSS hydrogels. For this purpose, a new Type II photoinitiator system (PIS) based on riboflavin (Rf), triethanolamine (TEA), and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is investigated for the visible light photopolymerization of acrylic monomers. PEDOT:PSS has a dual role by accelerating the photoinitiation process and providing conductivity to the obtained hydrogels. Using this PIS, full monomer conversion is achieved in less than 2 min using visible light. First, the PIS mechanism is studied, proposing that electron transfer between the triplet excited state of the dye (3 Rf*) and the amine (TEA) is catalyzed by PEDOT:PSS. Second, a series of poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate)/PEDOT:PSS hydrogels with different compositions are obtained by photopolymerization. The presence of PEDOT:PSS negatively influences the swelling properties of hydrogels, but significantly increases its mechanical modulus and electrical properties. The new PIS is also tested for 3D printing in a commercially available Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D printer (405 nm wavelength), obtaining high resolution and 500 µm hole size conductive scaffolds.

Abstract
A novel magnetic-controlled electrochemical sensor has been fabricated by combined photo-responsive surface molecular imprinted polymers (P-SMIPs) and electrochemical sensor. In particular, the P-SMIPs were obtained by living radical polymerization of photo-responsive functional monomer onto the magnetic Fe3O4 modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes nanocomposites. The magnetic glassy carbon electrode was introduced to make the anchoring and removal of P-SMIPs onto the magnetic-controlled glassy carbon electrode easy to manipulate. Driven by UV/vis light, the platform performs releasing and absorption of metronidazole basing on conformational variations of the photo-responsive monomer at the receptor sites part in the P-SMIPs. This process can be tested by the photo-responsive variations of metronidazole electrochemical signal. As the consequence, extracting of P-SMIPs sensor can be conveniently triggered by the controllable UV light intervention measure, leading to effectively improve in both analytes mass transfer rate to the receiving media and extraction efficiency. The experimental result indicated that the excellent recoveries of metronidazole were varied between 77.9% and 89.9% with RSDs ≤4.87% in the biological samples. Therefore, the P-SMIPs sensor shows satisfactory potential in reusable extractions that can be recycled several times with no significant loss of activity, and this utilization strategy can be extended to other analytes, achieving manifold applications of pharmaceutical and environmental.

Abstract
Portable, maneuverable and reliable versatile-integrated analytical devices are urgently demanded but still extremely challenging to meet the requirements of point-of-care testing in resource-limited areas. Herein, a multifunctional sensing platform with excellent photothermal performance was implanted into the miniature zone of a paper-based electrochemiluminescent (ECL) biosensor for accurate detection of interleukin-6, which could flexibly interconnect the visualized distance and temperature readout with ultrasensitive ECL response. Concretely, the multipurpose MBene and TaSe2 composites (MBene@TaSe2) prepared via self-assembly approach as target-associated photothermal element was introduced in the paper-based analytical device (PAD) and served as multi-signals trigger. Under the laser irradiation, MBene@TaSe2 probe not only generated heat for rapid temperature output, but also triggered the phase transition behavior of thermoresponsive poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) hydrogel to release loaded malachite green (MG) dye for distance-based visual readout. Simultaneously, the released MG was also utilized as effective quencher to decrease the ECL signal of luminol. Benefitting from this dexterous architecture, the speedy preliminary screening and precise quantitative analysis could be subsequently obtained in single-drop sample through one-step sandwich immunoreaction, which avoids additional separation operations and greatly simplifies the analysis procedure. Undeniably, this work provides ingenious insights for advancing the development of convenient and fast multifunction-integrated PAD in family surveillance and intelligent diagnosis.

Abstract
Chemical sensors that can detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the subject of extensive research efforts. Among various sensing technologies, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are regarded as a highly promising option for their detection with many advantageous properties, e.g., specific binding-site for template molecules, high recognition specificity, ease of preparation, and chemical stability. This review covers recent advances in the sensing application of MIPs toward various types of VOCs (e.g., aliphatic and aromatic compounds). Particular emphasis has been placed on multiple approaches to the synthesis of MIP-based VOC sensors in association with their performance and sensing mechanisms. Current challenges and opportunities for new VOC-sensing applications are also discussed based on MIP technology.

Abstract
Temperature response double network (DN) hydrogels comprising a network formed by polymerization of methacrylic acid (MA) modified PVA, N,N’-methylene bis(acrylamide), N-isopropylacryl amide (NIPAM), and one formed from crystalline polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) are prepared in a 3D printed tailor-made mold. The (PVA-MA)-g-PNIPAAm thermoset intermediate is formed in water by a radical, photo-initiated process, and in the presence of dissolved PVA polymers. A subsequent freezing-thawing sequence induces the crystallization of the PVA network, which forms a second network inside the thermoset NIPAM polymer. The prepared hydrogel is thermoresponsive by the phase transition of PNIPAAm segments (T ≈ 32 °C) and has good mechanical properties (tensile strength 1.23 MPa, compressive strength 1.47 MPa). Thermal cycling between room temperature at 40 or 50 °C shows the product converses from a virgin-state to a steady-state, which most likely involves the reorganization of PVA crystals. The swelling-deswelling cycles remain clear at a length change of about 13%.

Abstract
With the gradual global standardization of carbon emission policies, the development of renewable resources to replace traditional fossil resources is assuming increasing importance. Lignin is the most abundant natural source of aromatic compounds and has the potential to replace petroleum-based aromatic hydrocarbons. In this work, the rigid benzene ring structure and excellent photothermal properties of lignin were exploited to produce light-driven lignin-based shape memory polymers (ELEPs) that contain high proportions of lignin and have good mechanical properties. Enzymatically hydrolyzed lignin (EL), epoxy soybean oil (ESO) and polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) were copolymerized and cured to form ELEPs, which have a disordered three-dimensional network. An increase in the proportion of EL from 40 to 60 wt% enhanced the mechanical properties, as reflected by an increase in tensile strength from 11.3 to 30.8 MPa and in the glass transition temperature (Tg) from 93 to 115.7 °C. Under simulated solar irradiation (2000 W m-2), ELEP50, which contains 50 wt% lignin and has a Tg of 105 °C, reached a surface temperature as high as 105 °C and achieved shape memory within 20 s. The shape fixation ratio (Rf) and shape recovery ratio (Rr) were stably >98 % and >97 %, respectively, over eight cycles in a bending-recovery experiment. The unique light-driven shape memory properties of ELEPs provide a method for high value utilization of EL, and the design strategy offers new ideas for producing novel intelligent materials.

Abstract
Mycotoxin is toxic secondary metabolite formed by certain filamentous fungi. This toxic compound can enter the food chain through contamination of food (e.g., by colonization of toxigenic fungi on food). In light of the growing concerns on the health hazards posed by mycotoxins, it is desirable to develop reliable analytical tools for their detection in food products in both sensitive and efficient manner. For this purpose, the potential utility of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) has been explored due to their meritful properties (e.g., large number of tailor-made binding sites, sensitive template molecules, high recognition specificity, and structure predictability). This review addresses the recent advances in the application of MIPs toward the sensing of various mycotoxins (e.g., aflatoxins and patulin) along with their fabrication strategies. Then, performance evaluation is made for various types of MIP- and non-MIP-based sensing platforms built for the listed target mycotoxins in terms of quality assurance such as limit of detection (LOD). Further, the present challenges in the MIP-based sensing application of mycotoxins are discussed along with the future outlook in this research field.

Abstract
The evolution of biosensors and diagnostic devices has been thriving in its ability to provide reliable tools with simplified operation steps. These evolutions have paved the way for further advances in sensing materials, strategies, and device structures. Polymeric composite materials can be formed into nanostructures and networks of different types, including hydrogels, vesicles, dendrimers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), etc. Due to their biocompatibility, flexibility, and low prices, they are promising tools for future lab-on-chip devices as both manufacturing materials and immobilization surfaces. Polymers can also allow the construction of scaffold materials and 3D structures that further elevate the sensing capabilities of traditional 2D biosensors. This review discusses the latest developments in nano-scaled materials and synthesis techniques for polymer structures and their integration into sensing applications by highlighting their various structural advantages in producing highly sensitive tools that rival bench-top instruments. The developments in material design open a new door for decentralized medicine and public protection that allows effective onsite and point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
We developed an infrared (IR)-based real-time online monitoring device (US Patent No: US 10,571,448 B2) to quantify heart electrocardiogram (ECG) signals to assess the water quality based on physiological changes in fish. The device is compact, allowing us to monitor cardiac function for an extended period (from 7 to 30 days depending on the rechargeable battery capacity) without function injury and disturbance of swimming activity. The electrode samples and the biopotential amplifier and microcontroller process the cardiac-electrical signals. An infrared transceiver transmits denoised electrocardiac signals to complete the signal transmission. The infrared receiver array and biomedical acquisition signal processing system send signals to the computer. The software in the computer processes the data in real time. We quantified ECG indexes (P-wave, Q-wave, R-wave, S-wave, T-wave, PR-interval, QRS-complex, and QT-interval) of carp precisely and incessantly under the different experimental setup (CuSO4 and deltamethrin). The ECG cue responses were chemical-specific based on CuSO4 and deltamethrin exposures. This study provides an additional technology for noninvasive water quality surveillance.

Abstract
Considerable progress has been made in synthesizing "intelligent", biodegradable hydrogels that undergo rapid changes in physicochemical properties once exposed to external stimuli. These advantageous properties of stimulus-triggered materials make them highly appealing to diverse biomedical applications. Of late, research on the incorporation of light-triggered nanoparticles (NPs) into polymeric hydrogel networks has gained momentum due to their ability to remotely tune hydrogel properties using facile, contact-free approaches, such as adjustment of wavelength and intensity of light source. These multi-functional NPs, in combination with tissue-mimicking hydrogels, are increasingly being used for on-demand drug release, preparing diagnostic kits, and fabricating smart scaffolds. Here, the authors discuss the atomic behavior of different NPs in the presence of light, and critically review the mechanisms by which NPs convert light stimuli into heat energy. Then, they explain how these NPs impact the mechanical properties and rheological behavior of NPs-impregnated hydrogels. Understanding the rheological behavior of nanocomposite hydrogels using different sophisticated strategies, including computer-assisted machine learning, is critical for designing the next generation of drug delivery systems. Next, they highlight the salient strategies that have been used to apply light-induced nanocomposites for diverse biomedical applications and provide an outlook for the further improvement of these NPs-driven light-responsive hydrogels.

Abstract
A facile, universal and highly efficient approach for producing a self-cleaning electrochemical protein-imprinting biosensor based on dual stimuli-responsive memory hydrogels via free-radical polymerisation is described. As confirmed by static contact angle and scanning electron microscopy results, the imprinted hydrogels exhibited reversible conformational changes after being simulated by an external electric field and temperature. By exploring the properties of imprinted hydrogels for sensing applications, the electrochemical protein-imprinting biosensor was originally fabricated on a glassy carbon electrode using the drop-casting method. Because of the trigger gates of the temperature and electric field, the biosensor demonstrated excellent self-cleaning behaviours compared with other corresponding electric-field or thermo-responsive imprinting biosensors. Moreover, the prepared biosensor exhibited satisfactory selectivity, good biocompatibility, comparable limits of detection and linearity ranges as well as acceptable stability toward bovine serum albumin. Consequently, the biosensor was successfully employed to simultaneously enrich, detect and extract bovine serum albumin from complex biological samples; the process was dynamic, controllable and harmless to the template under the dual external stimuli. Thus, the proposed biosensor exhibited considerable potential in controlled drug/chemical delivery and smart sensing for bioanalyses involving dual stimuli-responsive behaviours.

Abstract
The discovery of the 2D nanostructure of graphene was in fact the beginning of a new generation of materials. Graphene itself, its oxidized form graphene oxide (GO), the reduced form of GO (RGO) and their numerous composites are associates of this generation. Out of this spectrum of materials, the development of GO and related hybrid materials has been reviewed in the present article. GO can be functionalized with metals (Ag and Mg) and metal oxides (CuO, MgO, Fe2O3, Ag2O, etc.) nanoparticles (NPs), organic ligands (chitosan and EDTA) and can also be dispersed in different polymeric matrices (PVA, PMMA, PPy, and PAn). All these combinations give rise to nanohybrid materials with improved functionality. An updated report on the chronological development of such nanohybrid materials of diverse nature has been delivered in the present context. Modifications in synthesis methodologies as well as performances and applications of individual materials are addressed accordingly. The functional properties of GO were synergistically modified by photoactive semiconductor NPs; as a result, the GO–MO hybrids acquired excellent photocatalytic ability and were able to degrade a large variety of organic dyes (MB, RhB, MO, MR, etc.) and pathogens. The large surface area of GO was successfully complemented by the NPs so that high and selective adsorption capacity towards metal ions and organic molecules as well as improved charge separation properties could be achieved. As a result, GO–MO hybrids have been considered effective materials in water purification, energy storage and antibacterial applications. GO–MO hybrids with magnetic particles have exhibited selective destruction of cancerous cells and controlled drug release properties, extremely important in the pharmaceutical field. Chitosan and EDTA-modified GO could form 3D network-like structures with strong efficiency in removing heavy metal ions and organic pollutants. GO as a filler enhanced the strength, flexibility and functional properties of common polymers, such as PVA and PVC, to a large extent while, GO–CP composites with polyaniline and polypyrrole are considered suitable for the fabrication of biosensors, supercapacitors, and MEMS as well as efficient photothermal therapy agents. In summary, GO-based hybrids with inorganic and organic counterparts have been designed, the unique properties of which are exploited in versatile fields of applications. GO undergoes synergistic interaction with MO nanoparticles and the hybrid can be used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of dyes.![]()

Abstract
Environmentally friendly polymeric materials and derivative technologies play increasingly important roles in the sustainable development of our modern society. Conducting polymer hydrogels (CPHs) synergizing the advantageous characteristics of conventional hydrogels and conducting polymers are promising to satisfy the requirements of environmental sustainability. Beyond their use in energy and biomedical applications that require exceptional mechanical and electrical properties, CPHs are emerging as promising contaminant adsorbents owing to their porous network structure and regulable functional groups. Here, we review the currently available strategies for synthesizing CPHs, focusing primarily on multifunctional applications in energy storage/conversion, biomedical engineering and environmental remediation, and discuss future perspectives and challenges for CPHs in terms of their synthesis and applications. It is envisioned to stimulate new thinking and innovation in the development of next-generation sustainable materials.

Abstract
Detection sensitivity of an electrochemical immunosensor mainly depends on the accessible distance toward the sensing interface; regulating the electrochemical interfacial region thereon is an effective strategy for signal amplification. Herein, a photothermal-regulated sensing interface was designed based on a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive hydrogel probe for ultrasensitive detection of human epididymis protein 4 (HE4). Silver nanoparticle-deposited graphene oxide nanosheet (AgNPs@GO) hybrids as electrochemical signal tags and a photothermal transducer, which were encapsulated in the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) hydrogel, were used to develop the NIR-responsive GO@AgNPs-pNIPAM hydrogel probe. Under NIR light irradiation, the excellent photothermal effect of AgNPs@GO hybrids not only rapidly converted NIR light into heat for temperature readout but also triggered the shrinkage behavior of the hydrogel for electrochemical signal amplification. Compared with the conventional sandwich immunoassay, the shrinkage behavior of the hydrogel signal probe endowed itself with interface regulation capability to improve the electrochemical reaction efficiency; on the basis of ensuring the extended outer Helmholtz plane (OHP) region, the proposed photothermal-induced interface regulation also shortened the OHP, leading to higher sensitivity. Moreover, the obtained dual-mode signals provided satisfactory accuracy for the detection of tumor markers. Therefore, this detection scheme provided an opportunity for the broad applications of the photothermal effect in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The science of toxicology dates back almost to the beginning of human history. Toxic chemicals, which are encountered in different forms, are always among the chemicals that should be investigated in criminal field, environmental application, pharmaceutic, and even industry, where many researches have been carried out studies for years. Almost all of not only drugs but also industrial dyes have toxic side and direct effects. Environmental micropollutants accumulate in the tissues of all living things, especially plants, and show short- or long-term toxic symptoms. Chemicals in forensic science can be known by detecting the effect they cause to the body with the similar mechanism. It is clear that the best tracking tool among analysis methods is molecularly printed polymer-based analytical setups. Different polymeric combinations of molecularly imprinted polymers allow further study on detection or extraction using chromatographic and spectroscopic instruments. In particular, methods used in forensic medicine can detect trace amounts of poison or biological residues on the scene. Molecularly imprinted polymers are still in their infancy and have many variables that need to be developed. In this review, we summarized how molecular imprinted polymers and toxicology intersect and what has been done about molecular imprinted polymers in toxicology by looking at the studies conducted in the last 5 years.

Abstract
With the development of dye and printing, production wastewater has become one of the most primary pollution sources of water and soil pollution. Most of the dyes are toxic substances, which have the "three-way" effect of carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic. Therefore, it is a very difficult but significant issue to deal with the dye in the wastewater. Here, we report a study on low-cost, high-capacity hydrogels that remove water-soluble dyes. The hydrogel is prepared by crosslinking the β-cyclodextrin and functional monomer: acrylamido and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid by aqueous solution polymerization, meanwhile, alkaline hydrolysis is also an important step for adsorption performance. After alkaline hydrolysis, the amide and sulfonic groups in the hydrogel were converted into carboxylate and sulfonate, which was beneficial to the adsorption of cationic dyes. This polymer could remove 96.58% methylene blue (400 mg/L) and only requires 0.02 wt%. Its maximum adsorption capacity for methylene blue could reach 2638.22 mg/g under equilibrium condition. It is the most powerful adsorbent used to treat dye wastewater, according to the report. It also provides some references for hydrogel treatment of dye wastewater.

Abstract
Traditional polymer membranes exhibit a constant structure that makes adjustment of the filtration process difficult, such as flux changing and contaminant cleaning. Inspired by the automatically closing behavior of leaf stomata under strong light, we prepared a membrane with thermo- and photosensitivities, whose microstructure, as well as filtration properties, could be controlled by adjusting the light condition. The membrane was fabricated by the immersion phase inversion method with a casting solution of polyvinylidene fluoride-g-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PVDF-g-PNIPAAm) and graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets. Additionally, the membrane could be heated to a high temperature in a short time under illumination, causing shrinkage of its PNIPAAm chains and expansion of its membrane pores. On the basis of the reversible photoinduced structural transformation, the membrane exhibited a high water gating ratio under the switching of light on/off. Moreover, we proposed a novel and simple method to clear the contaminant from the pores of the membrane via light, which we named "light-cleaning". Light-cleaning had a flux recovery rate of 99.2%, substantially higher than that of back-washing (62%). This work not only extends the controllability and functionality of the polymer membrane but also develops a new membrane cleaning system.

Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:E151.

Abstract
In this work, the thermo-sensitive materials N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and acrylic acid (AA) were crosslinked with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) (CMC/P (NIPAM-co-AA)) via a free radical polymerization method for the removal of U(VI) from aqueous solution. The L16 (45) orthogonal experiments were designed for the optimization of the synthesis condition. The chemical structures of the crosslinking hydrogel were confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. The microstructural analyses were conducted though scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to show the pore structure of the hydrogel. The adsorption performance of the CMC/P (NIPAM-co-AA) hydrogel for the uptake of U(VI) from simulated wastewater was also investigated. The adsorption reached equilibrium within 1 h. Under the reaction of pH = 6 and a temperature of 298 K, an initial concentration of U(VI) of 5 mg·L-1, and 10 mg of the CMC/P(NIPAM-co-AA) hydrogel, the maximum adsorption capacity was 14.69 mg g-1. The kinetics fitted perfectly with the pseudo-second-order model, and the isotherms for the composite hydrogel adsorption of U(VI) was in accordance with the Langmuir model. The chemical modification confirmed that the acylamino group played an important role in uranium adsorption. The desorption and reusability study revealed that the resolution rate was still available at approximately 77.74% after five alternate heating cycles at 20 and 50 °C of adsorption-desorption.

Abstract
The reversible volume transition of redox-responsive hydrogels by near-infrared (NIR) irradiation has recently attracted significant attention as a novel therapy matrix for tracking and treating cancer via stimuli-responsive fluorescence on/off with controllable volume transition via a wireless sensing system. Herein, a NIR-induced redox-sensitive hydrogel was synthesized by blending a hydrogel with IR825-loaded carbon dots (CD) to achieve enhanced mobility of nanoparticles inside a gel network, and reversible volume phase transitions remotely controlled by a smartphone application via the induction of different redox environments. The presence of CD-IR825 in the thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogel network imparted fluorescence, electronic and photothermal properties to the hydrogels, which resulted in volume shrinkage behavior of the hydrogel upon exposure to NIR laser irradiation due to the redox-sensitive CDs. Under the NIR on/off cycles, the photothermal temperature, fluorescence, and porous structure were reversed after turning off the NIR laser. The hydrogel responsiveness under GSH and NIR light was studied using a wireless device based on the changes in the resistance graph on a smartphone application, generating a fast and simple method for the investigation of hydrogel properties. The in vitro cell viabilities of the MDA-MB cancer cells incubated with the composite hydrogel in the presence of external GSH exhibited a higher photothermal temperature, and the cancer cells were effectively killed after the NIR irradiation. Therefore, the NIR-induced redox-responsive nanocomposite hydrogel prepared herein has potential for use in cancer treatment and will enable the study of nanoparticle motion in hydrogel networks under multiple stimuli via a wireless device using a faster and more convenient method.

Abstract
With increasing economic globalization, food safety is becoming the most serious concern in the food production and distribution system. Food safety hazard factors (FSHFs) can be categorized into chemical hazards, biological hazards and physical hazards, with the detection of the former two having fascinated interdisciplinary research areas spanning chemistry, material science and biological science. Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) -based sensors overcome many limitations of traditional detection methods and provide opportunities for efficient, sensitive and low-cost detection using smart miniaturized equipment. With highly specific molecular recognition capacity and high stability in harsh chemical and physical conditions, MIPs have been used in sensing platforms such as electrochemical, optical and mass-sensitive sensors as promising alternatives to bio-receptors for food analysis. In this systemic review, we summarize recent advances of MIPs and MIP-based sensors, such as popular monomers, usual polymerization strategies, fresh modification materials and advanced sensing mechanisms. The applications of MIP-based sensors in FSHF detection are discussed according to sensing mechanisms, including electrochemistry, optics and mass-sensitivity. Finally, future perspectives and challenges are discussed.
