Synthetic polymers

A new type of dendrimer

A new type of dendrimer is reported in a Chem. Comm. article just out. This is the first paper out of my collaboration with David Lupton, and Judith Hierold, who made the new dendrimers. We can control the structures and interactions of the dendrimers, and are studying the molecules with the Australian synchrotron. Their aggregation behaviour in different solvents allows the systematic study of hydrophobic forces.

The article will be available online soon:
J. Hierold, A. Gray-Weale, D. Lupton, Chem. Comm., in press.

The structure of randomly branched polymers synthesized by living radical methods
