The obtained polymer, referred to as HPolS, was purified through dialysis using a membrane with a molecular weight cut-off of 12 kDa (Serva, Heidelberg, Germany). The purified polymer was then dried for 24 h at 37 • C.
The concentration of cyclodextrin (CD) torus in HPolS was determined using FTIR spectroscopy, specifically by analyzing the 1032 cm -1 band corresponding to the C-O-C bond in the CD torus. Calibration dependence was established for accurate concentration determination.
