Inclusion and functionalization of polymers with cyclodextrins: current applications and future prospects.
The numerous hydroxyl groups available in cyclodextrins are active sites that can form different types of linkages. They can be crosslinked with one another, or they can be derivatized to produce monomers that can form linear or branched networks. Moreover, they can form inclusion complexes with polymers and different substrates, modifying their physicochemical properties. This review shows the...
متن کاملCyclodextrins as encapsulation agents for plant bioactive compounds.
Plants possess a wide range of molecules capable of improve healing: fibre, vitamins, phytosterols, and further sulphur-containing compounds, carotenoids, organic acid anions and polyphenolics. However, they require an adequate level of protection from the environmental conditions to prevent losing their structural integrity and bioactivity. Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides arising fro...
متن کاملSludge Dewatering with Cyclodextrins: a New Cost-effective Approach
Polymers are typically added to flocculate sludge during wastewater treatment. We have found that cyclodextrins (CDs) boost the performance of these polymers by increasing the cake solids and drainage rates of beltor screw-pressed biological or primary sludge. These benefits are obtained at very low CD dosage. CDs also decrease the specific resistance to filtration and increase the capture rate...
متن کاملThe Effect of Water Soluble Polymers on Felodipine Aqueous Solubility and Complexing Abilities with Natural and Modified β-Cyclodextrin
Purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the presence of the water soluble polymers viz HPMC, PVP and PEG 6000 on aqueous solubility and complexation abilities of felodipine with or without presence of β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and HPβCD by phase solubility studies. The data revealed the initial increase in drug solubility followed by plateau in t...
متن کاملCore/Shell Conjugated Polymer/Quantum Dot Composite Nanofibers through Orthogonal Non-Covalent Interactions
Nanostructuring organic polymers and organic/inorganic hybrid materials and controlling blend morphologies at the molecular level are the prerequisites for modern electronic devices including biological sensors, light emitting diodes, memory devices and solar cells. To achieve all-around high performance, multiple organic and inorganic entities, each designed for specific functions, are commonl...
