This review presents an overview of 1→ 2 branched dendrimers and dendrons, created by a
divergent procedure, from their synthesis to modern day applications. The first members of …

This review summarizes recent advances in the design and synthesis of novel complex
polymers with (meth) acrylic acid segments using various living and controlled …

Poly (amidoamine)(PAMAM) dendrimers of generations G0, G1, G2, G3, G4, and G6 are
investigated by potentiometric (acid− base) titrations. The data are interpreted with a site …

Polycations having a high buffering capacity in the endosomal pH range, such as
polyethylenimine (PEI), are known to be efficient at delivering nucleic acids by overcoming …

The success of polyethyleneimine (PEI) as a nonviral-based gene delivery vector has been
attributed to its proton buffering capacity. Despite the great interest in PEI for its use in …

We have measured potentiometric titration curves of the weak polyelectrolytes, PAH and
PAA, interpolyelectrolyte complexes PAH− PAA, PDADMAC− PAA, and PAH− PAA …

One-step hydrothermal treatment of polyacrylonitrile fiber (PANF) with hyperbranched
polyethylenimine (HPEI) resulted in zwitterionic PANF-g-HPEI that contained not only the …

We report the synthesis of star‐shaped poly (acrylic acid)(PAA), with 5, 8, and 21 arms, by
atom transfer radical polymerization of tert‐butyl acrylate. We employ the core‐first approach …

Metal nanoclusters (NCs) have been engineered as a new kind of luminescent material,
whereas the application of metal NCs in aqueous solution was subjected to great limitations …

Silver nanoclusters capped by hyperbranched polyethylenimine (PEI) have been developed
as a highly sensitive fluorescent and colorimetric pH sensor. The probe responds rapidly to …
