Fullerene (C60)-?-Cyclodextrin (?-CD) guest-host polymer nanocomposite networks were prepared using inexpensive complexation techniques. The networks were evidenced to have monodisperse filler sizes arising from C60 and monodisperse 12-carbon tie chains arising from CD-polymer networks which were prepared separately. Unique membranes having guest-host capabilities emanated by appropriate cavity size of the cyclodextrins were developed. These network membranes have inherent hydrophobicity and could potentially be applied in sequestration and scavenging of small molecular impurities form organic solvents.
