Abstract

The interactions of polyacrylamide-(pAAm-) based gels possessing cyclodextrin (CD) residues (CD-gels) with pAAm-based gels modified with aromatic residues through amide and ester linkages (ArA-gels and ArE-gels, respectively) were investigated to examine the effect of linkage (ie, amide and ester) between aromatic residues and the pAAm gel scaffold. In the present study, benzyl (Bz), 2-naphthylmethyl (Np), 9-phenanthrylmethyl (Ph), and 1- ...
