Recognition of Guest Polymers by Monomeric CDs

Poly(maleic acid-aft-isobutene) 1-Adamantane-amide 0.1 P-CD 22 [190] 

Both RAMEB and SDS are called rheology modifiers, since they greatly increase and decrease viscosity. Since their discovery, CD-based rheology modifiers have been found for a great variety of associative polymers, such as a-CD for dodecylamido-polyacrylic acid [194], HP- 3-CD for hexadecyl modified hydroxyethyl-cellulose [195], and RAMEB for adamantane modified polyacrylamide [196], 

The IC of RAMEB and an adamantane modified polyacrylamide is thermosensitive heating of the aqueous solution of the IC of this guest polymer leads to a very steep increase of both viscosity and turbidity at a certain temperature, which is due to temperature induced decomplexation, followed by an aggregation of the polymer [196],
