Cyclic compounds have attracted significant attention due to their variety of applications in the field of supramolecular chemistry for the creation of functional nanomaterials. The cyclic oligomers of glucose known as cyclodextrins (CDs) are ideal candidates to provide nanomaterials with various self-assembled structures and functionalities. CDs are cyclic oligosaccharides linked by 1,4-α-glucosidic bonds. CDs have a shallow truncated cone shape and a hydrophobic cavity relative to the outer surface. Hence, CD cavity can act as a host for a great variety of guest molecules via molecular recognition, resulting in an inclusion complex (IC). In this study, we show the self-assemblies of CDs with varied materials as well as the self-assembly of CD itself, resulting in unique self-assembled structures. In particular, CDs act as an environmental protective material due to their molecular recognition property, which opens up the potential possibility for functional NT/ET fusion materials. |
