Chemically modified CD (hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD)) was used as both a reducing and stabilizing agent as well as a fiber matrix for the electrospinning of HPβCD/Au-NP-NF composite mats. Electrospinning of metallic NP incorporating CD-NF would have exclusive properties by combining the very large surface area of nanofibers with specific functionality of the metal NP and CD.EnglishArticle10.1039/C3RA41175C
