M. Born et al., SIDE-CHAIN POLYROTAXANES .2. FUNCTIONALIZED POLYSULFONE WITH NONCOVALENTLY ANCHORED CYCLODEXTRINS IN THE SIDE-CHAINS, Acta polymerica, 45(2), 1994, pp. 68-72
The synthesis of a new side-chain polyrotaxane containing beta-dimethy
l cyclodextrin rings is described. The rotaxane side groups are attach
ed via amide functions at an aromatic polysulfone. Some characteristic
s of the polyrotaxane are compared with those of a corresponding guest
model compound. It is found that the T(g) value, the solubility in ch
loroform and acetone, some H-1-NMR shifts and the GPC maximum are sign
ificantly influenced by the non-covalently anchored cyclodextrin rings
.
