Synthesis and characterisation of supported dendrimers based on Merrifield resin

摘要

Nanostructured dendrimers of one to three generations supported on Merrifield resin, synthesised with hydroxyl, mesylate and bromine terminal groups were characterised. The physical characterisation was carried out by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate the conglomerate morphology. The particle diameter growth is related to the samples terminal groups and did not increase linearly with the dendrimer. After the second generation the dendrimeric particles became denser.
