Abstract

The first results about the trapping ability of new cyclodextrin polymers towards Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from the gas phase and from water are presented. These polymers have been prepared by using a low methylated-β-cyclodextrin (CRYSMEB) and epichlorohydrin (EP) as a crosslinking agent. Several polymers with various EP/CRYSMEB ratio were synthesized. Polymerization was also conducted in the presence of a guest as template. The adsorption capacities of the obtained polymers towards toluene as a model aromatic compound have been investigated by static headspace gas chromatography (HSGC). First results showed that polymers seem to be efficient absorbents for toluene with values closed to CRYSMEB.
