Dendronized Polymers: Synthesis, Characterization, Assembly at Interfaces, and Manipulation

摘要: Dendrimers are presently one of the most intensely studied classes compounds because their unusual structure. They can be described as a jungle entangled branches traversed by winding trails which lead to sweet fruits and bright blossoms. On these reach thicket's interior well find way out. Expressed less lyrically, this thicket stands for regularly branched, densely packed structures, represent voids channels not filled bent back but solvent. The fruit blossoms photochemically, electrochemically, or synthetically addressable units, catalytically active sites, etc., forth on transport processes. In mathematical sense dendrimers enveloped an interface, defines what is either in This interface shaped like sphere if bursting. Otherwise more flattened amoeba, especially contact with surface. high density functional groups, expansion range several nanometers, existence usable "surface" possibilities them have made interesting candidates many applications. review describes how dendrimer construction polymer synthesis were combined used move from fully spherical shapes cylindrical ones. shape-inducing influence dendritic substituents driven create nanoobjects shape, only considerably widens applications class also opens up new perspectives supramolecular chemistry. Because sheer size objects complexity shape-related properties, research area must necessarily interdisciplinary. article tries mirror giving special attention characterization behavior bulk at interfaces. Furthermore, potential application fields described.
