Thermosensitive hydrogels composed of cyclodextrin pseudorotaxanes. Role of [3]pseudorotaxane in the gel formation.
Pseudorotaxanes composed of an alkylpyridinium and alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) form supramolecular hydrogels which show sol-gel transitions at 7-67 degrees C depending on the type and amount of the guest compound.
