Cyclodextrin containing Nano- and Microgels for Uptake and Release of Chemical Agents

Zusatztext

This thesis deals with the preparation and characterization of novel functional polymeric nano- and microgels using cyclodextrin (CD) as multifunctional cross-linker and supramolecular complexation domain for the uptake and release of potential chemical agents. The incorporation of natural and vinyl functionalized alpha-, beta- and gamma-CDs were studied in different polymerization reactions with different types of monomers for the preparation of stable nano- and microgels with specific properties. The complexation capacity and application possibilities of CD containing nano- and microgels were investigated with regard to the uptake and release properties of potential organic guest molecules like sensitive dyes (phenolphthalein, nile red), antimicrobial agents (chlorhexidine), insecticides (permethrin) and pharmaceutical active ingredients (ibuprofen).
