Electrospun crosslinked poly-cyclodextrin nanofibers: Highly efficient molecular filtration thru host-guest inclusion complexation
Abstract Water pollution is a serious concern for public health and environment in today’s world; hence, there exists a strong demand to develop cost-effective, sustainable and eco-friendly membranes. Here, we produce a highly efficient molecular filter membrane based on bio-renewable material; cycl...
