MImM
MImM is an acronym that can refer to several concepts depending on the context. In scientific literature, it most commonly denotes molecularly imprinted membranes, a class of polymeric membranes that incorporate specific molecular recognition sites designed for target molecules.
Molecular imprinting creates these recognition cavities by polymerizing functional monomers in the presence of a template
Applications of molecularly imprinted membranes include selective separation of pharmaceutical compounds and environmental contaminants, chiral separations,
Advantages of MImMs include high selectivity, the ability to tailor recognition properties for specific targets, and
Because MImM can stand for different concepts in other domains, readers should verify the intended meaning
