Spinning a web : The electrospinning of cyclodextrin (CD) pseudopolyrotaxane, α‐CD–PEG‐IC (PEG=poly(ethylene glycol), IC=inclusion complex), nanofibers using poly(ethylene oxide) as a carrier polymer matrix has been achieved (see picture) without destruction of the pseudopolyrotaxane structure. This opens up a variety of possibilities for the development of multifunctional nanofibers containing CD pseudopolyrotaxanes and/or CD inclusion complexes.
