Cyclodextrin-grafted cellulose: Physico-chemical characterization

► Modification of cellulose with cyclodextrins. ► Physico-chemical characterization by means of FTIR, CP-MAS NMR and TGA. ► Cyclodextrins chemically attached (esterification) to the cellulose. ► CD-grafted cellulose forms a strong tridimensional network and becomes less soluble in water based solvents.
