Polymers Involving Cyclodextrin Moieties

Akira Harada, Akihito Hashidzume, and Masahiko Miyauchi 

Polymers involving CyD moieties can be either regular polymers or supramolecu-lar ones. The latter ones are novel and promising future applications while the former, more traditional ones have already found numerous applications. Since supramolecular oligomers and polymers seem to be more interesting they will be presented first. It should be stressed that most these systems have the rotaxane structure, which together with the structure of catenanes involving CyDs are discussed in Chapter 14.
