Abstract:
A facile synthetic method is developed to afford cyclodextrin-derived polymer networks that exhibit high selectivity in capturing certain organic compounds in water. The sustainable and scalable synthesis, together with the highly robust adsorption performance enables efficient removal and/or separation of organic molecules from aqueous solution in a continuous flow system.
