Synthesis and characterization of molecularly imprinted polymers for analytes of environmental and food interest. The transduction of the signal occurs by electrochemical way, both potentiometric and voltammetric, or optical (SPR, LSPR, SERS). The aim is the selective and highly sensitive determination of molecules or classes of molecules of environmental interest (herbicides, pesticides) and food (dyes, adulterants).
