Electrospinning of Cyclodextrin-Oligolactide Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: The materials used for the preparation of electrospun mats exhibit a large variety. Among them, cyclodextrins (CDs) and their derivatives have received thorough attention. Herein, we focus on the preparation of electrospun fibers based on biodegradable cyclodextrin-oligolactide (CDLA) derivatives, which may be qualified as polymer-free cyclodextrin. CDLA was prepared by ring opening of L-lactide initiated by the β-cyclodextrin. A clear structural image of the high-purity CDLA product was proved by MALDI MS. Preparation of the electrospun mats was optimized by taking into consideration the electrospinning parameters such as applied voltage, needle-to-collector distance, flow rate, the concentration of cyclodextrin solutions, and solvent type. The obtained electrospun fibers were morphologic
