Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on $\beta$-cyclodextrins octyl-derivative (b-CD) encapsulated into a polymer matrix of glassy poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK-WC) material to investigate the effects of the complexation of p-nitrophenilacetate and naringin molecules with the aim to study the recognition properties of b-CD.
