Formation of Supramolecular Gels from Host–Guest Interactions between PEGylated Chitosan and α‐Cyclodextrin

Abstract Chitosan‐based hydrogels are prepared via the formation of polypseudorotaxanes (PPR), by selectively threading α‐cyclodextrin (α‐CD) macrocycles onto polymeric chains, which, through the formation of microcrystalline domains, act as junction points for the network. Specifically, host–guest...
