“…Cyclodextrins (CDs) and cellulose are fascinating molecules with synergistic properties that have been critical for preparing new derivatives directed at several innovative applications, ranging from textiles (El Ghoul et al, 2016 ; Mihailiasa et al, 2016 ) coatings (Huang et al, 2013 ; Shah et al, 2015 ; Mihailiasa et al, 2016 ; Umoren and Eduok, 2016 ; Jimenez et al, 2017 ), sensors (Qiu and Hu, 2013 ) and paper making to pharmaceutical technology (Siepmann and Peppas, 2001 ; Hadjichristidis et al, 2003 ; Zhang et al, 2012 ; Shokri and Adibkia, 2013 ; Yang and Yang, 2013 ; Mogosanu and Grumezescu, 2015 ; Thakur, 2015 ; Lalatsa and Barbu, 2016 ; Jawaid and Mohammad, 2017 ; Nishio et al, 2017 ; Yadav et al, 2018 ). Cellulose has been considered a suitable matrix for preparing polymers containing CDs.…”
