(Nanowerk Spotlight) A dendrimer is a polymeric nanostructure built around a core unit. There are several branching units around the core units in a layer-by-layer fashion which defines the growth, ...

Vaccine production can be time-consuming. For example, it takes about six months to produce sufficient amounts of the seasonal influenza vaccine. A team of researchers led by Jasdave S. Chahal of the ...

Along with the recent rapid advances in living/controlled polymerization systems, a variety of well-defined branched polymers have been synthesized. Among such polymers, a series of branched polymers, ...

Dendrimers--treelike macromolecules with branching tendrils that reach out from a central core--have a way of grabbing scientists' imaginations. With dendrimers and dendritic polymers now playing key ...

Dendrimer, from the Greek word (dendron) for tree, refers to a synthetic, three-dimensional molecule with branching parts. Dendrimers are formed using a nano-scale, multistep fabrication process. Each ...

Bare aromatic polymers have the potential to be used in a wide range of high-performance and functional materials. However, their synthesis is hindered by the poor solubility of their parent compounds ...

New research demonstrates that dendrimers, tiny synthetic particles, can avoid detection by our immune system and could be used to develop a new system to deliver drugs into the body without ...

(Nanowerk News) Purdue researchers have devised a way to capture the finer details of complex cell processes by using tiny synthetic particles known as dendrimers, a technology that could lead to more ...
