Abstract

A new generation of advanced materials developed by molecular imprinting technology showing a stimuli-responsive functionality are emerging. The application of these imprinting materials as selective sorbents on the sample preparation field seems to be very promising, allowing at the same time their reutilization in several runs and promoting the sustainability of the extraction procedures with clear economic advantages. Moreover, those functional materials that merge an enhancement of selectivity with a controllable and switchable mode of action by means of specific stimulus constitutes a hot research topic on the sample preparation domain. The scope of this book chapter is to provide a general overview of the new trends in the advances of sample preparation using these smart materials, highlighting the most relevant applications, with special emphasis on its potential impact on the field of food sample preparation.
