Professor Szejtli was also a visionary. Since the mid-1980s, he suggested new
potential markets for cyclodextrins, e.g., in biotechnology (Szejtli 1985a, 1986a,
1990b, 1991a), agriculture (Szejtli 1985b), fibers (Szejtli 1988a), and medicine
(Szejtli 1988b, 1994). During the period 1990–2000, he also proposed to use cyclodextrins as active compounds in functionalized textiles, as encapsulating agents for
