During the last few decades, monolithic stationary
phases (based on silica and polymers) have been used for fast
separations in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
and capillary electro-chromatography (CEC). The present article
describes the preparation, properties, and applications of these
stationary phases. Attempts have been made to discuss the preparation
of reversed-phase monolithic HPLC columns and CEC capillaries.
The chromatographic properties of these phases have been described.
The applications included their use in HPLC and CEC modalities
of liquid chromatography. The optimization of separations of
various molecules on these phases has been discussed. Efforts
were also made to predict the future perspectives of monolithic
stationary phases.
