font face="AdvPSA88A" size="1"> Selective chemical modification of both b-cyclodextrin (b-CD) and sodium alginate (alg) was performed in order to produce an alginate derivative possessing pendant b-CD cavities along the chain. The latter was then fully characterized in terms of chemical integrity and purity, complexation properties and ability to form hydrogels. Thus, a sodium alginate derivative modified with adipic dihydrazide (alg-ADH) and a complexation properties and ability to form hydrogels.
