Amphiphilic Linear-branched Copolymers and Their Fluorinated Dendritic Analogs

Abstract

Copolymers of PEG and analogs of second generation dendrimer have been synthesized and characterized. Normal polyether dendrimers can be replaced by other branched structures with similar physical properties. Incorporation of fluorinated chains enhance the hydrophobicity of the dendrimer. Attachment of long alkyl chains to dendrimers to achieve the same goal is under investigation and applications of the amphiphilic copolymers are being explored.
