Resumen:
In the last years, macroporous monolithic materials have been introduced as a
new and useful generation of polymers used in different fields. These polymers may be
prepared in a simple way from a homogenous mixture into a mold and contain large
interconnected pores or channels allowing for high flow rates at moderate pressures. Due
to their porous characteristics, they could be used in different processes, such as stationary
phases for different types of chromatography, high-throughput bioreactors and in
microfluidic chip applications. This review reports the contributions of several groups
working in the preparation of different macroporous monoliths and their modification by
immobilization of specific ligands on the products for specific purposes.
