Nowadays, there is a great interest in the textile industry for the production of functional textiles using environmentally friendly materials and processes. Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides obtained by enzymatic degradation of starch truncated cone shape having a hydrophilic surface containing hydroxyl groups and a cavity with hydrophobic character which can form reversible inclusion complexes with various compounds. Several derivatives of β­cyclodextrin have been synthesized to enable it to attach to textile fibers permanently. Also, different methods have been developed for grafting of native and modified β­cyclodextrin on textile fibers. In this review the methods of application of β­cyclodextrin on different textile substrates for obtaining various functional properties including printability, dyeability, and in finishing application as antibacterial, ultraviolet protection wastewater pollutant removal, and fragrance release properties.
