Molecular imprinting strategies to achieve reproducible sensing

Prof. Peter A. Lieberzeit

Department of Physical Chemistry, University of Vienna, Austria

Abstract
Molecular imprinting has been in the focus of research for more than three decades. So far, its
application has been hampered by the limited reproducibility of the resulting sensor layers, which
is inherent to radical polymerization of complex monomer mixtures. Nanomechanical
measurements for sensor surfaces demonstrate this quite clearly. To tackle those issues, one can
either polymerize in situ - be it electrochemically or otherwise, apply using solid phase synthesis
to obtain "artificial antibodies" for a range of analytes, including nano- and micro sized ones.
Short Biography
Peter Lieberzeit achieved his PhD and Habilitation from the University of Vienna in 1999 and
2007, respectively. His main research areas cover the design of biomimetic sensor materials based
on self-organization, mainly molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), combined with masssensitive
transducers as well as electrochemical and optical measurements. His research so far
has resulted in almost 200 papers in Web of Science. He holds the Fritz-Feigl-Award of the
Austrian Society of Analytical Chemistry (ASAC) 2011. Currently, he serves as member of the
editorial board of Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical (IF=8.5) and chairs the International
Steering Committee of IMCS conferences (International Meeting on Chemical Sensors).
