Hyperbranched polymers and Haag type dendrimers for the molecular imprinting of polymers

摘要

A molecularly imprinted polymer was synthesized using both hyperbranchedpolyglycerol and Haag type polyether dendrons with estradiol as a core. The attachment of thepolyether dendron created a dendrimer that had 64 allyl groups available for crosslinking.Completion of the crosslinking of the dendrimer resulted in a polymer that was not fullycrosslinked, therefore the polymer was unable to hold its shape and not be effective as amolecular imprint.
