title: Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs): sensing, an explosive new opportunity?
abstract: Our group is currently developing in-field detection systems alongside the Australian Federal Police Forensic Services utilising molecularly imprinted polymers as the recognition elements. This review looks at MIP synthesis and our perceptions of future directions from an Australian and forensic perspective.
