摘要

A method is provided for improving thickeners used in aqueous system. The method involves the reversible complexation of cyclodextrin compounds with hydrophobic moieties on the thickener molecule to suppress the viscosity of the aqueous solution containing the thickener so that such the solution can be easily handled. This complexation step may be followed by decomplexing the cyclodextrin from the thickener to permit the thickener to perform its intended function.
