Abstract

Carboncarbon-based (C-based)carbon-based (C-based) molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have attracted wide relevance due to their eco-friendliness and extensive application scope. Regarding this, the greener features of C-basedC-based MIPs, from synthesis routes to environmentally friendly characteristics and applications, are discussed in this chapter. Utilizing carbon sources that are renewable in the synthesis of C-based MIPs and environment-friendly solvents that could minimize the ecological footprint associated with conventional polymerization techniques are discussed. Intrinsic properties of carbon materials, including tunable porosity, high surface area, and excellent chemical stability, increase the performance and sustainability of MIPs in environmental remediation, sensing, and drug delivery. The green attributes of the C-based MIPs are emphasized in this chapter by their use in developing sustainable materials for future environmental and biomedical niches as well as their challenges.
