Preparation of an α‐cyclodextrin–linked chitosan derivative via reductive amination strategy

Synthesis and characterization of a poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) with β‐cyclodextrin as pendant groups

“…Our aim is to synthesize and characterize a series of polymers with different molecular architectures based on poly( N ‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA), which can respond to change in external temperature,1–34 and cyclodextrin (CD), which can form inclusion complexes with organic compounds in its internal hydrophobic cavity,25–45 and to investigate their structure‐properties relationship and possibility for controlled drug delivery as novel carriers 25–30. This is because, on the one hand, the novel polymers can respond to temperature stimuli, and at the same time possess ability to form inclusion complex with other compounds including drug molecules;25–34 on the other hand, a polymer's properties not only depend on the functions of each component, but also are involved in their architecture forms in polymer 5, 8, 25–34.…”

“…Therefore, in this paper, we consider synthesizing and characterizing a linear PNIPA polymer with β‐CD as pendant groups, and further study the structure–properties relationship of the novel polymer for some future application such as controlled drug release based on a thermosensitive sol‐gel reversible mechanism 15. Generally, a linear CD‐based polymer may be synthesized by homo‐ or copolymerization of a monovinyl CD monomer,28, 41, 42 or direct conjugation of CD molecules onto a polymer backbone 43, 44. But the synthesis of monovinyl CD monomers is not an easy thing, and the polymer obtained shows low molecular weight 28, 41, 42.…”

“…Therefore, so far there are few about their publications. In contrast, the conjugation are usually used to prepare CDs‐based polymers 43, 44…”

A Biopolymer Chitosan and Its Derivatives as Promising Antimicrobial Agents against Plant Pathogens and Their Applications in Crop Protection

“…Partial crosslinking by di/polyfunctional reagents enables the use of chitosan for metal adsorption in acidic medium. Several bior polyfunctional cross-linking agents such as glutaraldehyde [184][185][186][187], ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether [188,189], glyoxal [190], epichlorohydrin [191,192], benzoquinone [193], and cyclodextrin [194][195][196] have been used. The fact that the cross-linking agents cited before are neither safe nor environment friendly has led to the use of water-soluble crosslinking agents such as sodium trimetaphosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate, or carboxylic acids [197].…”

Synthesis, characterization, and metal ions adsorption properties of chitosan–calixarenes (I)

“…Crowns have been successfully incorporated into the matrix of CTS 6. An α‐cyclodextrin (CD)‐linked CTS derivative has been prepared via a reductive amination strategy 7. A β‐CD‐modified N ‐carboxymethylchitosan has been synthesized as a chiral high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) stationary phase 8…”
