The PNAI-γ-CD ICs were obtained by three techniques:  (a) the precipitation of γ-CD in the polymer solution and (b) and (c) the suspension of as-received cage structure γ-CD and γ-CDCS, with a preformed channel structure, respectively, in the polymer solutions. The PNAI-γ-CD ICs were characterized by solid-state FTIR, X-ray, NMR, DSC, and TGA observations. A 1H NMR study was performed in order to follow the kinetics of the inclusion process in solution. The time-dependent inclusion of PNAIs with different molecular weights by suspension of either as-received cage structure γ-CD or channel structure γ-CDCS in the PNAI solutions was monitored with 1H NMR. Acetone, a nonsolvent for γ-CD, was used as the solvent for the PNAI solutions. Some aspects regarding the role water plays in the polymer inclusion process are revealed from our temporal observations of the inclusion of PNAI guests into sol...}, number={18}, journal={MACROMOLECULES}, author={Rusa, M and Wang, XW and Tonelli, AE}, year={2004}, month={Sep}, pages={6898–6903} } @article{wei_davis_urban_song_porbeni_wang_white_balik_rusa_fox_et al._2002, title={Manipulation of nylon-6 crystal structures with its alpha-cyclodextrin inclusion complex}, volume={35}, ISSN={["0024-9297"]}, DOI={10.1021/ma020765m}, abstractNote={We successfully formed an inclusion complex between nylon-6 and α-cyclodextrin and attempted to use the formation and subsequent disassociation of the nylon-6/α-cyclodextrin inclusion complex to manipulate the polymorphic crystal structures, crystallinity, and orientation of nylon-6. Formation of the inclusion complex was verified by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and CP/MAS 13C NMR. After obtaining the inclusion complex of nylon-6 and α-cyclodextrin, the sample was treated in an acid environment to remove the host α-cyclodextrin and coalesce the nylon-6 guest polymer. Examination of as-received and IC coalesced nylon-6 samples showed that the α-form crystalline phase of nylon-6 is the dominant component in the coalesced sample. X-ray diffraction patterns demonstrate that the γ-form is significantly suppressed in the coalesced sample. Along with the change in crystal form, an increase in crystallinity of ∼80% wa...}, number={21}, journal={MACROMOLECULES}, author={Wei, M and Davis, W and Urban, B and Song, YQ and Porbeni, FE and Wang, XW and White, JL and Balik, CM and Rusa, CC and Fox, J and et al.}, year={2002}, month={Oct}, pages={8039–8044} }
