Dendrimers and hyperbranched structures for biomedical applications

The use of nanotechnology in biology and medicine has been marked by rapid progress of these industries due to the emergence of new devices, supramolecular systems, structures, complexes and composites. One striking example of nanotech polymers is dendrimers. Their structure is formed by branches of monomeric subunits diverging in all directions from the central core. In choosing monomers and functional groups in synthesis, one can precisely set...
