Abstract: Open tubular (OT) capillary columns have been increasingly used in a variety of fields of separation science such as CEC, LC, and SPE. Especially their application in CEC has attracted a lot of attention for their outstanding separation performance. Various forms of OT stationary phase materials have been employed such as in-situ prepared polymers, molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs), brush ligands, host ligands, block copolymers, aptamers, carbon nanotubes, polysaccharides, proteins, tentacles, nanoparticles, monoliths, and polyelectrolyte multi-layers. They have been prepared either in the chemically bound format or physically adsorbed format. Sol-gel technologies and nanoparticles have been sometimes involved in their preparation. There have been also some unique miscellaneous studies, for example, adopting preferentially adsorbed mobile phase components as stationary phases. In this review, recent progresses since mostly 2007 will be critically discussed in detail with some summarized descriptions for the work before the date
