Creation of polymer films with novel structures and properties by processing with inclusion compounds

摘要

Crystalline inclusion compounds (ICs) may be formed between a variety of small-molecule hosts and guests that are either also small-molecules or polymers (1-5).Employing urea (U) and the cyclodextrins (CD) as hosts we formed a large number of polymer-U-and polymer-CD-ICs,and more recently several small-molecule-CD-ICs have also been formed with guests that often serve as polymer additives.
