Biodegradable supramolecular micelles <i>via</i> host–guest interaction of cyclodextrin-terminated polypeptides and adamantane-terminated polycaprolactones

Abstract

Biodegradable supramolecular micelles were prepared exploiting the host-guest interaction of cyclodextrin and adamantane. Cyclodextrin-initiated polypeptides acted as the hydrophilic corona, whereas adamantane-terminated polycaprolactones served as the hydrophobic core.
