description

Methylated β-cyclodextrin (me-β-CD) was used to form water-soluble host/guest complexes with the hydrophobic monomers n-butyl methacrylate (1), cyclohexyl methacrylate (2), isobornyl acrylate (3), isobornyl methacrylate (4), and styrene (5), respectively. The free-radical copolymerizations of the water-soluble N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) with these complexed monomers were carried out in water at different molar ratios.
