Abstract Proposed and studied in the mid-1960s, water-insoluble cyclodextrinepichlorohydrin polymers are of continued interest to the scientific community, particularly for their environmental applications. The most characteristic feature of
these materials is their ability to form inclusion complexes with various contaminants through host-guest interactions. This leads to many environmental applications, including water and wastewater treatment, soil remediation, air purification,
and the concentration or elimination of target substances such as cholesterol.
In the early 1990s, our group began working on the synthesis of water-insoluble
cyclodextrin-based materials, their structural characterization, and their application
