ABSTRACT
Novel supramolecular hydrogels were formed between pyrene-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) star polymers and γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD), through the inclusion complexation of dimers of the pyrene terminals with γ-CD, where γ-CD was directly used as a supramolecular cross-linking reagent without any modification.
