A novel design of a biodegradable carrier for drug delivery was established by constructing a supramolecular assembly of drugs and polymer backbones without any covalent bonds. A biodegradable polyrotaxane was synthesized in which a-cyclodextrins (a-CDs) as drug carriers were threaded onto poly(ethy

Dendrimers are synthetic, highly branched, mono-disperse macromolecules of nanometer dimensions. Started in the mid-1980s, the research investigations into the synthetic methodology, physical and chemical properties of these macromolecules are increasing exponentially with growing interest in this f
## Abstract Highly branched cyclic dextrin derivatives (CHβCDex) that are partly substituted with cholesterol groups have been synthesized. The CHβCDex forms monodisperse and stable nanogels with a hydrodynamic radii of β10 nm by the selfβassembly of 4β6 CHβCDex macromolecules in water. The CHβCDex
