“…Therein, cyclodextrin-based hydrogels combine the advantages of cyclodextrin and hydrogels, which are water soluble, biocompatible, elastic, and microfluidic . Through hydrogen bonding, , electrostatic interaction, , and host–guest interaction, a series of cyclodextrin-based hydrogel materials have been constructed and widely used in drug loading, pollutant removal, − sterilization, luminescent materials, , and intelligent materials. − In 2002, Kato et al reported a novel sol–gel method for monolithic capillary columns that encapsulated proteins to recognize enantiomers, showing the application potential as a substrate for protein encapsulation.…”
