Cyclodextrin Membranes: Cyclodextrin Films with Fast Solvent Transport and Shape‐Selective Permeability (Adv. Mater. 26/2017)

Klaus-Viktor Peinemann and co-workers crosslink cyclodextrins at a water/hexane interface to form continuous films out of these container-shaped molecules. The scalable strategy is described in article number 1606641. The transport of molecules through the resulting flexible thin-films is fast and shape-sensitive thanks to the abundance of defined cavities within them.
