E. Renard et al., PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF WATER-SOLUBLE HIGH-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT BETA-CYCLODEXTRIN-EPICHLOROHYDRIN POLYMERS, European Polymer Journal, 33(1), 1997, pp. 49-57
Water soluble beta-cyclodextrin polymers were prepared from beta-cyclo
dextrin crosslinked with epichlorohydrin under basic conditions. The i
nfluence of preparation conditions on the molecular weight distributio
n has been investigated. The knowledge of this relationship allows for
the choice of reaction parameters according to the desired weight dis
tribution of the beta-cyclodextrin polymer. A procedure was developed
for the preparation of high molecular weight water soluble polymer (Mw
higher than 10(4)). Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
