Description for Hyperbranched Polydendrons: A New Macromolecular Architecture
paperback. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 282 pages, 209 black & white illustrations, 9 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PNNP; PSB; TBN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 438.
This thesis outlines the first synthesis of a new complex branched polymer architecture that aims to combine the benefits of dendrimers with the simplicity of conventional polymerisation. There is no other available literature on these remarkable materials, dubbed hyperbranched polydendrons, due to their novelty. The new materials were shown to have very high molecular weights (>1,000,000 g/mol), exceptional self-assembly and encapsulation behaviour and unparalleled functionalisation capabilities, and were studied pharmacologically to determine their potential as oral nanomedicine candidates. The detailed investigation of the chemical variables involved in synthesising hyperbranched polydendrons has shown that their self-assembly and pharmacological behaviour can be ... Read more
