Potential of Cycloaddition Reactions To Generate Cytotoxic Metal Drugs In Vitro

Paul Joseph Dyson, Sviatlana Siankevich, Benjamin Samuel Murray, Stéphanie Crot

Severe general toxicity issues blight many chemotherapeutics utilized in the treatment of cancers, resulting in the need for more selective drugs able to exert their biological activity at only the required location(s). Toward this aim, we report the devel ...

Modifying the properties of 4f single-ion magnets by peripheral ligand functionalisation

Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser

We study the ligand-field splittings and magnetic properties of three Er-III single-ion magnets which differ in the peripheral ligand sphere but exhibit similar first coordination spheres by inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and SQUID magnetometry. The IN ...

Functional, Hyperbranched Polyesters Via Baylis-Hillman Polymerization

Harm-Anton Klok, Frederik Roman Wurm, Sanhao Ji

Hyperbranched polyesters are among the most common hyperbranched polymers. One of the interesting features of hyperbranched polyesters is that they contain unreacted hydroxyl and carboxylic acid groups at the linear and terminal structural units, which can ...

Exact geometric theory of dendronized polymer dynamics

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz

Dendronized polymers consist of an elastic backbone with a set of iterated branch structures (dendrimers) attached at every base point of the backbone. The conformations of such molecules depend on the elastic deformation of the backbone and the branches, ...

Efficient Orthogonal Bioconjugation of Dendrimers for Synthesis of Bioactive Nanoparticles

Laure Menin

Nanoparticles carrying biologically active functional sets (e.g., targeting moiety, payload, tracer) have potential use in a wide range of clinical applications. Though complex, such constructions should, as far as possible, have a defined molecular archit ...

Interactive Surfaces Based on Polymer Brushes

Dusko Paripovic

While the bulk structure of a material determines its mechanical properties, its surface plays a key role when interactions with the environment are important. Nowadays materials in bio- and nanotechnology are required to possess very complex functionaliti ...

Effective Charge of Adsorbed Poly(amidoamine) Dendrimers from Direct Force Measurements

Ramon Pericet Camara, Michal Borkovec

Interaction forces between silica surfaces with adsorbed poly (amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers were measured with the colloidal probe technique based on the atomic force microscope (AFM). At small separations, attractive non-DLVO forces are observed. These ...

Dendritic and hyperbranched polyamides

Harm-Anton Klok, Zuzana Kadlecova, Markus Scholl

This article discusses the synthesis and properties of dendritic and hyperbranched polyamides. The first part of the article focuses on peptide dendrimers and starts with providing an overview of the synthetic pathways that have been used to prepare dendri ...

Composites and methods for their production

Yves Leterrier, John Christopher Plummer, Marlene Rodlert

Intercalates and exfoliates formed from layered materials and dendritic polymers are disclosed, together with the uses of these materials, e.g. in producing composite materials. The dispersion of layered materials in a dendritic polymer matrix (hyperbranch ...
