With the advent of nanotechnology, CDs have positioned itself in a variety of forms such as their ability to act as capping/reducing agents for metallic nanoparticles, or form stable nanofibers or nanoparticles or nano micelles, which can be subsequently utilized for sophisticated applications. In this review, we summarize researches on the presence of CDs in various aspects of nanotechnology ranging from nanoparticles, nanorods, nanomicelles, to nanofibers.

To solve these problems, a novel ethylenediamine and potassium thiocyanate (ED/KSCN) solvent system was developed, that is economical, ecofriendly, and highly efficient. The ED/KSCN solvent system was proven to be a suitable solvent for fabricating cellulose (blended with other polymers) membranes. In this study, gluten was used to develop nonporous membranes with cellulose. The method of casting these membranes provided better ones than the former researchers’ techniques. These composite membranes’ physical and mechanical properties were studied by analysis of morphology, viscosity, crystallinity, thermal behaviors, tensile properties and water absorption of membranes. Results showed that membranes are nonporous, uniform, strong, flexible, ecofriendly and renewable. Mechanical and physical properties were influenced by the ratio of cellulose/gluten. By blending 40% gluten, the tensile strength of cellulose membrane dropped to 15.89 MPa from 35.11 MPa.

Because of the success of the Lyocell process as well as the amine/metal thiocyanate solvent blends of cellulose and other polysaccharides like starch, chitosan, and other natural polymers. Consequently, the use of cellulose (or its derivatives) and another polysaccharide dissolved as a blend is also elaborated.

By combining electrospinning of polymers with free CDs, nanofibers can be fabricated that are capable of capturing small molecules, such as wound odors or environmental toxins in water and air. Likewise, combining polymers with cyclodextrin-inclusion complexes (CD-ICs), has shown promise in enhancing or controlling the delivery of small molecule guests, by minor tweaking in the technique utilized in fabricating these nanofibers, for example, by forming core–shell or multilayered structures and conventional electrospinning, for controlled and rapid delivery, respectively. In addition to small molecule delivery, the thermomechanical properties of the polymers can be significantly improved, as our group has shown recently, by adding non-stoichiometric inclusion complexes to the polymeric nanofibers. We recently reported and thoroughly characterized the fabrication of polypseudorotaxane (PpR) nanofibers without a polymeric carrier. These PpR nanofibers show unusual rheological and thermomechanical properties, even when the coverage of those polymer chains is relatively sparse (~3%). A key advantage of these PpR nanofibers is the presence of relatively stable hydroxyl groups on the outer surface of the nanofibers, which can subsequently be taken advantage of for bioconjugation, making them suitable for biomedical applications. Although the number of studies in this area is limited, initial results suggest significant potential for bone tissue engineering, and with additional bioconjugation in other areas of tissue engineering. In addition, the behaviors and uses of aliphatic polyester nanofibers functionalized with CDs and CD-ICs are briefly described and summarized. Based on these observations, we attempt to draw conclusions for each of these combinations, and the relationships that exist between their presence and the functional behaviors of their nanofibers.}, number={4}, journal={POLYMERS}, author={Narayanan, Ganesh and Shen, Jialong and Boy, Ramiz and Gupta, Bhupender S. and Tonelli, Alan E.}, year={2018}, month={Apr} } @article{narayanan_caydamli_tekinalp_matai_boy_chung_shen_gupta_tonelli_2018, title={Thermal, mechanical, and topographical evaluation of nonstoichiometric alpha-cyclodextrin/poly(epsilon-caprolactone) pseudorotaxane nucleated poly(epsilon-caprolactone) composite films}, volume={56}, ISSN={["1099-0488"]}, DOI={10.1002/polb.24741}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT}, number={22}, journal={JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE PART B-POLYMER PHYSICS}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Narayanan, Ganesh and Caydamli, Yavuz and Tekinalp, Halil and Matai, Ishita and Boy, Ramiz and Chung, Ching-Chang and Shen, Jialong and Gupta, Bhupender S. and Tonelli, Alan E.}, year={2018}, month={Nov}, pages={1529–1537} } @article{narayanan_boy_gupta_tonelli_2017, title={Analytical techniques for characterizing cyclodextrins and their inclusion complexes with large and small molecular weight guest molecules}, volume={62}, ISSN={["1873-2348"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1016/j.polymertesting.2017.07.023}, DOI={10.1016/j.polymertesting.2017.07.023}, abstractNote={Cyclodextrins are oligosaccharides that have truncated cone like structures, making them capable of forming non-covalent bonds with a large variety of molecules (especially hydrophobic molecules).

Gel formation resulting from end-block associations and the corresponding changes in mechanical properties have been investigated over a temperature range of −80 °C to 60 °C, from near the solvent melting points to above the gelation temperature. Shear-rheometry, thermal analysis, and small-angle neutron scattering data reveal formation and transition of structure in these systems from a liquid state to a gel state to a percolated cluster network with decrease in temperature. The aggregated PMMA end-blocks display a glass transition temperature.
