Dendritic polymers are beginning to appear in the cosmetic patent literature.
Amongst others, this dependency was found to be valid for the
dendritic polymers and the PolyTHFs.
Both types of
dendritic polymers have relative viscosities that are exponential functions of their molar fraction in solution.
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian researchers from Lorestan University succeeded in designing a new type of drug delivery system for anti-cancer drugs by using linear
dendritic polymers and iron nanoparticles.
Dendritic polymers are a new class of three-dimensional, artificial molecules produced by multiplicative growth from small molecules that incorporates repetitive branching sequences to create a novel molecular architecture.
Even
dendritic polymers, which have been used for nanodelivery for years, involve complicated techniques and high costs associated with the crystal architecture [6, 7].
Among the topics are polymer states and properties, cross-linking, bulk and solution processes, small-angle X-ray scattering of polymer systems, and
dendritic polymers.
Hyperbranched polymers belong to the
dendritic polymers; however, they are prepared via several easy preparative methods in one-pot reaction which is considered as merit over the dendrimers themselves especially in the industry where dendrimers are labor-intensive materials.
Wathier and coworkers also developed an in situ gel formulation using LsyxCysy
dendritic polymers to be used in cataract incisions instead of nylon sutures.
Among their topics are removing endocrine disrupting contaminants from water using macroporous molecularly imprinted selective media, copper ion exchange studies of local (in Turkey) zeolitic tuffs, the impact of calcium on struvite precipitation from anaerobically digested dairy wastewater, the design of microsieves and microsieve processes for suspension fractionation, modifying the surface of polyamide reverse osmosis membranes with hydrophilic
dendritic polymers, and Ti02 nanowire free-standing membrane for concurrent filtration and photocatalytic oxidation water treatment.
His research is primarily in the areas of solution rheology combined with light, neutron, and X-ray scattering methods to investigate the physics of complex systems such as biomembranes, polyelectrolytes, associating polymers, gels, polymer crystallization, and
dendritic polymers. He recently began a program to apply combinatorial and high-throughput methods to materials physics and biomaterials, which let to the establishment of both the NIST Combinatorial Methods Center and a major NIST initiative in metrology for tissue engineering.
Dendritic NanoTechnologies (DNT) is the world's leading developer and provider of advanced
dendritic polymers. DNT has breakthrough technology that provides the vehicle -- the targeting and delivery mechanisms -- for a vast array of diagnostic and therapeutics currently in development in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
