Written by internationally acclaimed authors, this textbook contains everything you need to know about this versatile class of compounds. Starting with a historical overview, definitions, nomenclature and other fundamentals, it goes on to look at characterization, and properties of dendrimers. While the focus is on synthesis and applications, the book also contains chapters on analytics and special applications in such fields as physics, medicine and technology.
Essential reading for organic, inorganic, Supramolecular and polymer chemists, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for students and lecturers in chemistry and industrial chemists.
From the contents:
*Historical overview
*Definition and classification of dendritic molecules
*Synthesis of dendritic molecules
*Functional dendrimers
*Special chemical reactions: host-guest interactions, molecular imprinting, metathesis, etc.
*Photophysical and other properties
*Characterization and analysis
*Applications: in catalysis, (opto)electronics, sensor technology, medical diagnostics and therapy (carrier system), nanotechnology etc.
