2.2 Surface Imprinting
When aiming at large templates, i.e., especially biospecies such as proteins, cells, or
microorganisms, bulk imprinting fails to generate suitable recognition sites for
three reasons: first, the resulting materials would be too thick for most sensor
applications. Second, it would be very difficult to entirely remove the template
