Since the discovery of the liquid‐crystalline state of matter 125 years ago, this field has
developed into a scientific area with many facets. This Review presents recent …

1.1 Background Dendrimers and dendrons are architectural motifs synthesized by either
divergent or convergent iterative methods, and therefore, they provide monodisperse …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are organic salts that are liquid at ambient temperatures. Ionic liquids have
emerged as a new class of solvents for practical applications due to their unique …

Helical architectures including artwork and monuments, such us the Trajan's column from
Rome, were constructed as early as in the year 113 while the assemblies and the self …

In 2008, we overviewed1 poly (amido amine) s, polypropylenimines, and related dendrimers
