This paper mainly focuses on the robust synchronization issue for drive-response fractional-order chaotic systems (FOCS) when they have unknown parameters and external disturbances. In order to achieve the goal, the sliding mode control scheme only using output information is designed, and at the same time, the structures of a sliding mode surface and a sliding mode controller are also constructed. A sufficient criterion is presented to ensure the robust synchronization of FOCS according to the stability theory of the fractional calculus and sliding mode control technique. In addition, the result can be applied to identical or non-identical chaotic systems with fractional-order. In the end, we build two practical examples to illustrate the feasibility of our theoretical results.
