font face="AdvEPSTIM" size="1"> Surface immobilization of dendrons and dendrimers presents an exciting opportunity for creating a wide variety of functionalized polymeric architectures suitable for the immobilization of biomolecules. Dendritic molecules contain multifunctional groups that can be efficiently modified to control the properties of the resulting polymers. We are developing strategies to generate a highly functionalized surface using multifunctional and rigid dendrons immobilized onto different substrates. In this paper, electrochemical methods and scanning probe microscopy were used to explore the immobilization of a dendritic macromolecule (3,5-bis(3,5-dinitrobenzoylamino)benzoic acid) or (D-NO2) onto gold electrodes.
