Non-charged, water soluble dendronized polymers

Abstract

The synthesis of core/shell amphiphilic dendronized polymers is described which provides access to peripherally OEG-decorated and, thus, non-charged, water soluble cylindrical objects of varying cross-sectional diameter (thickness). Shell and core consist of a branching unit with three methyl-terminated triethylene glycol arms and of 1, 2, 3, or 4 generations of known amide-based dendrons, respectively, which are all held together by a PMMA-type main chain backbone. The adsorption behavior of these novel polymers on mica is investigated with the AFM and semi-quantitatively compared to the amide-based parent polymers.
