Effects of several inter-molecular interactions on the inclusion between methyl substituted β-cyclodextrin and some linear macromolecule in supercritical carbon dioxide medium

Abstract

In this work, the inclusion between methyl substitute b-cyclodextrin and some linear macromolecule in supercritical carbon dioxide medium was investigated. The contributions from several factors were studied; such as the hydrogen bonding interaction between the host and guest, the hydrogen bonding interaction between the neighborhood cyclodextrin rims threaded on the polymer chain, and the matching between the host cavity and the size of the polymer axis.
