dendrimer

In other words, one dendrimer molecule has hundreds of possible sites to couple to an active species.

Synthetic processes can also precisely control the size and number of branches on the dendrimer.

A Metallodendrimer is a type of dendrimer with incorporated metal atoms.

Researchers hope that dendrimer technology will be the first truly cost-efficient blood substitute.

As an example, figure 1 shows a 54-ferrocene dendrimer which was synthesized by a fast convergent approach.

In biochemistry, a dendron is the reduced form of its original dendrimer.

The name dendralene is pulled together from the words dendrimer, linear and alkene.

"All you need to know is that a dendrimer is a polymer with many branches.

He works on dendrimer chemistry and on the synthesis of beta-peptides.

However, dendrimer is currently the internationally accepted term.

Dendrimer popularity then greatly increased, resulting in more than 5,000 scientific papers and patents by the year 2005.

One of the very first dendrimers, the Newkome dendrimer, was synthesized in 1985.

There are ample avenues that can be opened by exploring this chemistry in dendrimer synthesis.

A dendrimer is a highly branched macromolecule with a spherical shape.

In particular it is possible to construct a cationic dendrimer, i.e. one with a positive surface charge.

The first component in DEN synthesis is the dendrimer itself.

Synonymous terms for dendrimer include arborols and cascade molecules.

Each successive generation results in a dendrimer roughly twice the molecular weight of the previous generation.

Since their introduction in the mid-1980s, this novel class of dendrimer architecture has been a prime candidate for hosts guest chemistry.

These composites are encapsulated by a dendrimer and assigned a specific charge and size.

The CV of the 54-ferrocene containing dendrimer in figure 2 gave a single reversible wave.

Higher generation dendrimers also have more exposed functional groups on the surface, which can later be used to customize the dendrimer for a given application.

There has also been research on the ability of conjugated dendrimer silsesquioxanes to behave as light emitting materials.

A dendrimer is a repetitively branched compound.

This method makes it much easier to remove impurities and shorter branches along the way, so that the final dendrimer is more monodisperse.
