Abstract

Summary: The interaction of a polymer bearing β‐cyclodextrin moieties (β‐CD polymer) with poly(acrylamide)s bearing aromatic side chains was investigated by viscometry to study the effect of collectivity (i.e., interactions at multi‐sites) in macromolecular recognition. The formation of inclusion complexes at multi‐sites caused a large difference in the size of interpolymer aggregates, even though the difference in association constants for complexation of native β‐CD with guest moieties was not very much large.
