n this paper we report the condensation reaction of the first generation of a dendritic monomer bearing hydroxyl or amine functional groups, with dialdehydes and diisocyanate comonomers. Dimers and dimers and crosslinked polymers were obtained by reaction with glyoxal (Gly) and glutaraldehyde (Glu), respectively. The products were characterized by FT and 1H NMR spectroscopy, DSC, TGA and GPC. Interesting materials with potentially significant and scarcely explored properties may be attained from these novel dendritic monomers.
