- Abstract
- (Figure Presented) Spinning a web: The electrospinning of cyclodextrin (CD) pseudopolyrotaxane, α-CD-PEG-IC (PEG=poly(ethylene glycol), IC=inclusion complex), nanofibers using poly(ethylene oxide) as a carrier polymer matrix has been achieved (see picture) without destruction of the pseudopolyrotaxane structure. This opens up a variety of possibilities for the development of multifunctional nanofibers containing CD pseudopolyrotaxanes and/ or CD inclusion complexes.
