- Abstract
- Although cyclodextrins have been discovered over 130 years ago, they have been in the spotlight of researchers in academia and industry in the last 5–6 decades. That arises as a consequence of their unique physicochemical properties. This chapter starts with a historical overview of cyclodextrins, landmarks, and their properties and applications. The latter rest on the ability of cyclodextrins to be used in their native form, functionalized or polymerized. In this particular issue, cyclodextrin-based nanosponges come out as recent polymeric 3D-hyper reticulated nanoporous materials. These materials are employed in a myriad of applications as a result of the combined properties of cyclodextrins and a nanoporous polymeric structure.... (More)

The latter rest on the ability of cyclodextrins to be used in their native form, functionalized or polymerized. In this particular issue, cyclodextrin-based nanosponges come out as recent polymeric 3D-hyper reticulated nanoporous materials. These materials are employed in a myriad of applications as a result of the combined properties of cyclodextrins and a nanoporous polymeric structure. Cyclodextrins, with a torus-like structure, are presented with their properties (facile modification, biocompatibility, amphiphilicity) and abilities to form host–guest complexes with an extensive range of analytes (e.g. carrier of low soluble compounds, inhibitor of retrogradation, protective function). The easy functionalization of cyclodextrins makes possible to design nanosponges with proper physicochemical properties, that pave the way for a myriad of applications. Hence, this chapter discloses the advantages of cyclodextrin-based nanosponges. The synthetic routes and the features of these nanosponges are discussed in terms of the class of crosslinker used and how the properties change based on the synthetic mechanism and experimental conditions used.
