• , matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) and turbidity measurements. Additionally, the viscosity change of the methacrylic homopolymer with RAMEB-CD was evaluated. Keywords: (meth)acrylated Triton

• possible after the complexation of (meth)acrylated Triton® X-100 (2 and 3) with RAMEB-CD (Scheme 3). The polymers 10 and 12 complexed with 1 equiv of RAMEB-CD precipitated during the polymerization, whereas the double complexed polymers 11 and 13 did not precipitate, as a consequence of the stronger host

• hydrodynamic diameters and the transmittance support the described explanation for the viscosity curve on the rheometer. Conclusion It was possible to polymerize (meth)acrylated Triton® as a stable complex with RAMEB-CD in water (10 to 13). Even after the polymerization, the complex with RAMEB-CD still existed
