Two different approaches for utilizing host-guest interactions to form supramolecular hydrogels. a) Fabrication of hydrogels based on inclusion complexes between CDs and various polymers that can thread into CD cavities. b) Supramolecular hydrogels formed by physical cross-linking through host–guest interactions between CD-containing polymers and hydrophobically modified polymers.
