Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been synthesized in the absence of a solvent using fumed silica nanoparticles to create a porous network. The method employed led to a chiral imprinting effect and allowed for an excellent control over the internal morphology of imprinted and non‐imprinted polymer (NIP) materials. The polymers possess high surface areas (>300 m 2 ) and identical pore size (112 Å). The MIP exhibited an imprinting factor (IF) of 9 and a selectivity value (α) of 1.83 for (−)‐ephedrine. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016 , 133 , 44104.
