Dendrimer-Based Nanoassemblies: Insights from Small Angle Scattering Experiments — •Ralf Kleppinger — DSM Research

Highly branched macromolecules have found widespread applications in the growing field of nanomaterials. From an application point of view, hyperbranched systems (with less defined architecture) appear to be rather attractive candidates for bulk applications that allow tailoring of rheological properties. Dendrimer systems with their highly defined three-dimensional architectures on the other hand appear to be promissing candidates in the field of biomedical materials where they have been proposed as new type of drug delivery systems. In any case, the investigation of such systems and in particular their complexes, represents a significant challenge. In this contribution we summarize results from small angle X-ray and -neutron scattering investigations that were performed on dendrimers and dendrimer-based complexes.
