Some transport properties of gamma-cyclodextrin aqueous solutions at (298.15 and 310.15) K
Values of binary mutual diffusion (interdiffusion) coefficients, obtained by using the Taylor dispersion method, for aqueous solutions of gamma-cyclodextrin in the concentration range from (0.002 to 0.010) mol.dm(-3) and temperatures (298.15 and 310.15) K are reported. From these experimental results, the hydrodynamic radius values for the gamma-cyclodextrin are estimated. Also, the measured diffusion coefficients are used with both Hartley's and Gordon's equations to estimate activity coefficients for aqueous gamma-cyclodextrin. These studies are complemented by some density and viscosity measurements, carried out at the same range of concentrations and temperatures. The effect of both the viscosity of the medium and the formation of gamma-cyclodextrin dimers on the estimated hydrodynamic radius is discussed.
