Abstract:

Electrospinning technology is a simple and efficient method for preparing continuous micro-nanofibers. The nanofibers are favored by the material science community because of their unique structure size and wide applications. Calixarene and its derivatives are the third generation supramolecular host compounds, which have wide applications due to their unique molecular structure, excellent ion selective recognition and adsorption property. In this review, the principle of preparing calixarene-functionalized nanofibers by electrospinning is briefly described, and the applications as adsorbents and catalyst supports are systematically discussed. In addition, the advantages of combining electrospinning and calixarene are highlighted. At last, the challenges in calixarene-functionalized nanofibers by electrospinning are discussed, and the future development direction is prospected.

Key words: electrospinning, calixarene, nanofibers
