Abstract

Carbon-based molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have emerged as highly promising materials for applications across sensor fabrication as biorecognition elements, environmental remediation as adsorbents, and biotechnology for drug delivery. The performance of these MIPs is largely dictated by the properties and optimization of the polymer cavities, making accurate and effective characterization essential. This chapter reviews the key characterization techniques applied to various properties of carbon-based MIPs, including structural, morphological, physical, surface area, pore size, and spectroscopic properties. We highlight studies in which carbon-based MIPs were synthesized, modified, and characterized using these techniques to demonstrate the role in evaluating and optimizing specific MIP attributes. Finally, we discuss future prospects including the potential for in situ and real-time characterization methods.
