Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique is used to follow, both in real time and in situ, the association between a physically adsorbed polymer of beta-cyclodextrin (p beta CD) and different hydrophobically modified poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) copolymers containing either adamantyl or dodecyl groups. This association is due to the complex formation between the hydrophobic groups and the beta CD cavities. Therefore, the adsorbed amount of PNIPAM onto the p beta CD layer depends on the substituent and on its substitution level. The association and dissociation rate constants are evaluated from the kinetics of PNIPAM adsorption. An estimation of the association constants leads to values higher than 10(4) M-1, reflecting the strong interaction between these polymers.
