Abstract
A poly(vinyl alcohol)-beta-cyclodextrin (PVA-BCD) copolymer was prepared by successive reaction of BCD with toluylene diisocyanate and PVA. Copolymer formation was evidenced by infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and gel permeation chromatography. Scanning electron micrographs show morphological differences between PVA and the copolymer. The copolymer, being almost insoluble in common solvents with an equilibrium swelling in water of 50%, is a potential membrane material.
