Resumen:
bstract: The immense scope of variation in dendritic molecules (hyper-branching, nano-sized,hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, rigidity/flexibility balance, etc.) and their versatile functionalization,with the possibility of multivalent binding, permit the design of highly improved, novel materials.Dendritic-based materials are therefore viable alternatives to conventional polymers. The overall aimof this work is to show the advantages of dendronization processes by presenting the synthesis andcharacterization of three different dendronized systems: (I) microbeads of functionalized chitosan;(II) nanostructuration of polypropylene surfaces; and (III) smart dendritic nanogels. The particularproperties yielded by these systems could only be achieved thanks to the dendronization process.
