Novel β- Cyclodextrin Functional Monomers and its Application for Molecularly Imprinted Polymers

β-Cyclodextrin shows good molecular recognition ability for its unique physical and chemical properties and suitable cavity structure. The selective recognition can be further improved if β-cyclodextrin combines with molecularly imprinted technique. In this paper, the novel β-cyclodextrin functional monomers were introduced. And the preparation and application of molecularly imprinted polymers based on β-cyclodextrin functional monomers were reviewed. The development trend of β-cyclodextrin molecularly imprinted polymers were also prospected.
