This process can be followed with wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The WAXD data shows that the α-CD crystals undergo a solid-state crystal−crystal transformation from the cage to the channel crystal structure upon IC formation over a period of about 8 h. The time dependence of the 2θ = 20° α-CD channel structure X-ray peak can be described by a simple first-order kinetic model. The effects of changing the temperature, PEG:α-CD molar ratio, PEG molecular weight, and vacuum-drying the CD have been studied. The barrier opposing the PEG inclusion-induced solid-state transformation of α-CD from the cage to the channel crystal structure appears to be dominated by changes in the packing/interactions of α-CDs, rather than the loss in the conformational entropy experienced by the PEG chains during the inclusion process.}, number={2}, journal={MACROMOLECULES}, author={Peet, J and Rusa, CC and Hunt, MA and Tonelli, AE and Balik, CM}, year={2005}, month={Jan}, pages={537–541} } @article{bullions_wei_porbeni_gerber_peet_balik_white_tonelli_2002, title={Reorganization of the structures, morphologies, and conformations of bulk polymers via coalescence from polymer-cyclodextrin inclusion compounds}, volume={40}, ISSN={["1099-0488"]}, DOI={10.1002/polb.10152}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={10}, journal={JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE PART B-POLYMER PHYSICS}, author={Bullions, TA and Wei, M and Porbeni, FE and Gerber, MJ and Peet, J and Balik, M and White, JL and Tonelli, AE}, year={2002}, month={May}, pages={992–1012} }
