چکیده English

This review presents a systematic examination of the applications of two advanced material classes—porous polymer foams (polyHIPE) and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs)—in separation processes and related fields. It emphasizes the critical relationship between synthesis methods (including Pickering emulsions), microstructure (pore size, porosity), and final performance, which enables the engineering of smart materials with precisely tunable properties. Key applications discussed include the selective separation of metal ions, water purification and oil-water separation, highly recoverable heterogeneous catalysis, novel controlled drug delivery systems, and the selective removal of emerging contaminants from the environment. The review highlights the transformative potential of these materials as sustainable, efficient, and versatile solutions to complex challenges in water treatment, resource recovery, green industry, and precision medicine. Future challenges, such as scalable production and the development of stimuli-responsive materials, are also outlined.
