Abstract
A water-soluble polyester was synthesized from dimethyl octane-1,8-dic arboxylate and polyethylene glycol ((M) over bar(n), = 900). This poly mer forms water-soluble inclusion compounds with alpha-, beta- and hyd roxypropyl-alpha-cyclodextrin as proven by surface tension measurement s, H-1 NMR spectroscopy and titration microcalorimetry. Mainly the oct amethylene segments were covered by the cyclodextrins. This inclusion can be used to increase the solubility and the critical micelle concen tration of the polyester in water.
