"Dendrimer science has exploded onto the polymer science scene as the fourth major class of polymer architecture. Capturing the history of dendrimer discovery to the present day, this book addresses all the essential information for newcomers and those experienced in the field, including: Fundamental theory, chemistry and physics of the 'dendritic state'; Synthetic strategies (click chemistry, self-assembly, and so on); Dendron/dendrimer characterization techniques; Architecturally driven 'dendritic effects'; Developments in scientific and commercial applications; Convergence with nanotechnology, including dendrimer-based nanodevices, nanomaterials, nanotoxicology and nanomedicine ... |
