Resumen:
The development of molecular nanostructures with well-defined particle shape and size,
such as dendrimers and dendritic structures, are of great importance. New nanomaterials could
be prepared using these structures as building blocks. Unique properties of dendritic
macromolecules make them much more useful for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications
than linear polymers. Therefore, over the last three decades, dendrimers have found a special
place in polymer-based pharmaceutical technology. This chapter describes general characteristics
of dendrimers, synthetic methodologies and their properties. Though, successful applications of
dendrimers and dendritic structures are feasible at small scale, a promising future on
pharmaceutical and nanomedicine fields is at glance. Finally, some characteristic examples of
dendrimers used in these fields are presented
