Green materials with promising applications: cyclodextrin-based deep eutectic supramolecular polymers

Abstract

Supramolecular polymers (SPs) based on macrocyclic host molecules as copolymer monomers are considered a promising class of advanced functional materials due to their satisfactory tunable properties and unique host-guest interactions....

Deep eutectic solvents as an emerging green platform for the synthesis of functional materials

“…The PDES increased the adsorption sites of OVA and enhanced multiple interactions between the sorbent and OVA. 211,212 Li et al 213 reported the modification of magnetic titanium dioxide nanoparticles using a deep eutectic solvent consisting of choline chloride (ChCl) and xylitol (Xyl) (Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 @[ChCl] [Xyl]) and its application to chymotrypsin (Chy) solid phase extraction (MSPE). There was also a group led by Ni et al 214 who used carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for magnetization and radical polymerization, followed by solid-phase extraction of bovine serum proteins (BSA) using 3-acrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride solution (APTMAC) and xylitol (Xyl) to coat the surface (Fig.…”

Assembly of ionic supramolecular polymers using a decacationic pillar[5]arene to noncovalently crosslink hyaluronic acid for short DNA delivery

“…For possible application as biomaterials, supramolecular polymers have to possess high stability and solubility in water. 8–10 For this purpose, the host–guest inclusion of macrocyclic hosts, such as cyclodextrins, 11–13 cucurbiturils 14–18 and pillararenes, 19,20 for hydrophobic monomeric or dimeric guests has been developed to allow for the formation of various crosslinked supramolecular polymers in aqueous solution. A more straightforward strategy for synthesizing water-soluble supramolecular polymers involves the use of multiple ionic interactions as driving forces.…”

Microwave‐Assisted Preparation of an Acidic Deep Eutectic Solvent: Green Analysis, Characterization and Application

“…[3] As highlighted in previous studies, [4][5] the advantages of DES include biodegradability, tunable physicochemical properties and ease of synthesis. The judicious selection of HBDs also allows DES with diverse characteristics and tailoring DES for specific applications such as extraction, [6][7] gas purification, [8] metal processing, [9] polymer synthesis, [10] biocatalysis [11] and electrochemistry. [12] Energy efficiency is also emphasized in the sixth principle of Green Chemistry.…”
