“…Since both HP-β-CD and α-CD form primarily 1:1 CD:AOT complexes, the higher effectiveness of HP-β-CD in influencing AOT micelles may be attributed to the larger size of HP-β-CD compared to α-CD, and to the lower hydrophobicity of the HP-β-CD-AOT complexes, where both hydrophobic tails of AOT can be accommodated in a single CD cavity, whereas, in complexes formed between AOT and α-CD, one tail can be in the cavity and the other outside. Similar effects of cyclodextrins on the properties of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles have been reported recently [32,33]. HP-β-CD has higher capacity in influencing SDS micelles and inter-micelle interactions compared to α-CD [32,33].…”
