Inclusion complexes(ICs) composed ofα-cyclodextrins(α-CD) and biodegradable comblike copolymers with poly(α,β-malic acid)(PMA) backbones and methylated poly(ethylene glycol)(mPEG) side chains were prepared by the host-guest reaction.Two series of ICs with mPEG750 and mPEG2000 were prepared.The stoichiometry(EG/CD) of all the ICs in mPEG2000 series was 3.1,no matter what the graft degree was.While in mPEG750 series,the stoichiometry(EG/CD) was very different:it increased with the amount of mPEG decreasing.Th...
