| Title: |
Molecularly Dispersed Dendrimers in a Polymeric Matrix |
| Published: |

| Abstract: |
Interpenetrating polymer networks are formed by dissolving poly(amidoamine) dendrimers in 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and polymerizing with dendrimer contents between 1 and 25 mass % containing dendrimers from generation 6 through 11. Small angle x-ray scattering shows that they are uniformly dispersed in the polymer matrix. At loadings of 10% or more, the dendrimers shrink in size, but remain dispersed. Transmission electron microscopy confirms that the dendrimers are well dispersed. |
