Today’s cyclodextrin:
Many of the wonder’s of CDs are linked with their behavior in aqueous solutions, yet often it comes in handy if you can immobilize them. Just think about analytical applications, removal of chemicals from wastewater, or binding them to the surface of medical devices.
Here we see a simple, efficient, one-step process that is ligand-free, scalable, substrate-independent, and uses minimal energy for grafting of unmodified β-CD on various oxide-based metal and semiconductor surfaces.
