Abstract
The invention relates to a molecularly imprinted polymer, wherein the molecularly imprinted polymer comprises a functionalized polymer composition configured to molecularly bind a target molecule in a medium, wherein a chelating agent is molecularly bound to the functionalized polymer composition of the molecularly imprinted polymer, said chelating agent is releasable to the medium and is able to induce a change in the electrochemical properties of the medium once released from the molecularly imprinted polymer, and wherein the chelating agent is configured to be released to the medium from the molecularly imprinted polymer by molecular binding of the target molecule to the functionalized polymer composition of the molecularly imprinted polymer.
