Then the role of the host–guest complexation in the construction of these materials is evaluated in order to position the CB-containing functional materials in the context of smart materials. The chapter also provides a brief outline of the book with a brief rationale on the arrangement of the chapters.EnglishIntroduction: Cucurbituril-containing functional materials in the context of smart materialsBook Chapter10.1039/9781788015950-000019781788015950
