Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) have been found to recognize the structures of various polymers. α-Cyclodextrin (α-CD) formed complexes with poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), although, β-CD did not form complexes with PEG. However, β-CD formed complexes with poly (propylene glycol) (PPG), although α-CD did not form complexes with PPG. CDs form complexes not only with hydrophilic polymers but hydrophobic polymers. CDs recognize the molecular weight of polymers. CDs recognize not only main chains but end groups and side chains.Preparation of polyrotaxanes in which many cyclodextrins were trapped in a polymer chain was described. Preparation of polymeric tubes consisting of several cyclodextrins was also described.
