polymeric hydrogels assembled fromb-cyclodextrin(b-CD)and adamantyl(AD)substituted poly(acrylate)s can be tailored throughselective hostguest complexation between b-CD andAD substituents and their

cross-peaks arising from the PAAbCD/PAAADsystem indicates that the tethers are too short to allowcomplexation between the substituents because of sterichindrance between the PAA

PAAbCDddn/PAAADddnsystemscausescompetitionbetweeninter-andintramolecular tether complexation,as indicated by thecorresponding tether cross-peaks,the absence of AD cross-peaks,andacorrespondingdecreaseinPAAcross-linkingasshown by the viscosity data discussed below.The zero shear viscosities of mixtures of either nativebCD,PAAbCD,PAAbCDhn,or PAAbCDddn and eitherPAAAD,PAAADhn,or PAAADddn equimolar in eithernative bCD or bCD substituents and AD substituents(Figure 2)show that the macroscopic characteristics ofmixtures of the substituted PAA systems closely reflecttheir molecular characteristics,as deduced from the 2D1H NOESY NMR studies(Table 1).Thus,the zero shearviscosities of the PAAbCD/PAAAD and PAAbCDhn/PAAADsystems are two orders of magnitude lower than those ofthePAAbCD/PAAADhnandPAAbCDhn/PAAADhnsystems(Figure 2).Hence,the AD substituent of PAAAD forms onlyweak intermolecular host-guest complexes with the bCDsubstituents of PAAbCD largely because of the sterichindrance caused by the PAA backbone of the latterpolymer,while the extra flexibility of the hn tether ofPAAbCDhn reduces the effect of steric hindrance.Thegreatest zero sheer viscosities characterize the PAAbCD/PAAADddn and PAAbCDhn/PAAADddn systems(Figure 2).This is due to both PAAbCD and PAAbCDddn formingisomericintermolecularhostguestcomplexeswiththeADsubstituents and the ddn tethers of PAAADddn.The zero shear viscosities of the PAAbCDddn/PAAADhnand PAAbCDddn/PAAADddn systems are about one orderof magnitude lower than those of the PAAbCDhn/PAAADhn and PAAbCDhn/PAAADhn systems(Figure 2),consistent with the preferential intramolecular complexa-tion of the ddn tether of PAAbCDddn in the bCD annulus.This decreases the intermolecular complexation of thePAAADhn and PAAADddn AD substituents and tethers inthe bCD annuli of PAAbCDddn such that there is asubstantialdecreaseinPAAcross-linking.Nevertheless,theviscositiesofthesesystemsarestillmuchgreaterthanthatof PAAbCDddn alone.The viscosity of PAAbCDddn is greater than that ofPAAbCD probably because the hydrophobic ddn tethersaggregate.However,there is little difference between theviscosities of PAAbCDddn and that of the PAAbCDddn/PAAAD system because a combination of the sterichindrance from the PAA backbone of PAAAD in thecomplexation of the AD substituent by the bCD sub-stituent and the intramolecular complexation of the ddntether in PAAbCDddn prevents significant cross-linking.Overall,it has been shown that the characteristics of thehydrogels assembled from bCD and AD substituted PAAsmaybetailoredthroughselectivehostguestcomplexationbetween bCD and AD substituents and their tethers.Thestrength of these interactions is governed by the balancebetween intra-and intermolecular complexation of thesubstituent tethers and steric effects.As the tether lengthshortens steric interactions with the PAA backboneincreasingly inhibit intermolecular complexation.Thisunderstanding of the factors involved in polymerichydrogel formation points the way towards the construc-tionofincreasingly sophisticatedbiocompatiblematerials.Experimental PartThenewamidoadamantyl,1-(6-aminohexyl)amidoadamantyland1-(12-aminododecyl)amidoadamantyl 3%randomly
