Preparation and Characterization of Polymer/Dendrimer Blends. Final Report

摘要

This report is a summary of the results of measurement and characterization ofdendritically branched polymers that was done for the Army Research Office under contract 35109-CH. The report describes three areas of research on dendrimers. In section 1, the authors report on their study of individual dendrimer properties in solution. In section 2, the authors describe materials made from a combination of dendrimers and conventional polymers, and in section 3 materials made from a combination of dendrimers and metals. The dendrimer solution properties are divided into six categories, size measurement, internal segment density distribution, comparison of different types of dentritic polymers, location of dendrimer terminal units, interactions of dendrimers at high concentrations, and effect of solvent on dendrimer size. This research area was the first to be explored, and detailed information has been given in several published papers that can be used to obtain detailed information. In this report, summaries are given of these results in a concise review.
