Owing to their unique structure and property, natural cyclodextrins and their chemically modified derivatives can include many kinds of organic monomers to form guest/host complexes. The formation of these complexes results in significant changes of the solubility and activity of the guest molecules, but without chemical modification. It is found that the complexed hydrophobic monomers can be successfully polymerized directly in water without any organic solvent or surfactant, which induces a green way to polymer synthesis. It is found that this new cyclodextrin-mediated polymerization method differs strongly from classical methods. The present article reviewed the formation and the structure of the cyclodextrin/monomer inclusion complexes, and the influence of cyclodextrins on polymer synthesis. At last, the possible theory of the cyclodextrin-mediated reaction is discussed.
