The aim of this work was to determine the main physical characteristics of beta-cyclodextrin polymers, well known for improving complexation capacities and providing enhanced and sustained release of a large panel of drugs. Two polymers were investigated: a polymer of beta-cyclodextrin (poly beta-CD) and a polymer of partially methylated (DS = 0.57) beta-cyclodextrin (polyMe-beta-CD). The physical characterizations were performed by powder X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The results indicate that these polymers are amorphous and that their glass transition is located above the thermal degradation point of the materials preventing their direct observation and thus their full characterization. We could however estimate the virtual glass transition temperatures by mixing the polymers with different plasticizers (trehalose and mannitol) which decreases Tg sufficiently to make the glass transition observable. Extrapolation to zero plasticizer concentration then yield the following Tg values: Tg (polyMe-beta-CD) = 317 degrees C +/- 5 degrees C and Tg (poly beta-CD) = 418 degrees C +/- 6 degrees C.
