The invention relates to a method for synthesizing surface molecular engram materials, in particular to a method for preparing 
phenol molecular engram polymers on the surface of 
silica gel, which solves the problems in the prior surface molecular engram polymers of low molecular weight of functional macromolecules, low content of functional groups, low 
grafting percent of engram materials and so on. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, the 
silica gel is activated, reacts with a 
coupling agent, and reacts with a polymine 
aqueous solution; secondly, the surface of the 
silica gel is chemically grafted with polymine to prepare a 
grafting material PEI / SiO2; thirdly, the 
grafting material PEI / SiO2 which absorbs template molecules to be balanced is added into an 
ethanol aqueous solution of a crosslinking agent for reaction; and fourthly, reacted materials are repeatedly washed by a 
hydrochloric acid for removal of the template molecules, washed by 
distilled water to 
neutralization, and subjected to 
vacuum drying. The preparation process is simple, and the silica gel surface engram materials prepared have 
high absorption capacity and superior absorption selectivity on the template molecules, have actuating locus inside silica gel surface 
polymer films, have small 
diffusion resistance and quick 
mass transfer speed, and are easy to achieve absorption equilibrium.
