Acrylic β-cyclodextrin ester (β-CD-AA) retains the molecular encapsulation effect of β-CD while having good water solubility and chemical tunability. Due to the introduction of double bonds, it possesses the property of being polymerizable.
Potential Applications:

1. Drug delivery and controlled release: As a drug carrier, construct pH-sensitive hydrogels to achieve intestinal-targeted release.
2. Smart materials and biomedicine: Prepare intelligent antibacterial coatings, tissue engineering scaffolds.
3. Adsorption and separation materials: Synthesize adsorption polymers for the removal of heavy metal ions (such as Pb2+ and Zn2+).
4. Functional material additives: Use as stabilizers and solubilizers in cosmetics, food and other fields.
