Abstract
In this review, we summarize the recent research focused on the combination of inorganic nanoparticles and α-, β- and γ- cyclodextrins. Our intention is to highlight the most relevant publications on the synthesis of nanoparticle-cyclodextrin (NP-CD) nanohybrids, with CDs acting as reducing agents or through the post-synthetic modification of inorganic nanoparticles with CDs. We also discuss the new or enhanced properties that arise from the host-guest capabilities of the CDs and inorganic nanoparticles. Finally, we illustrate the potential applications of these materials in numerous research fields.
