Entry terms

  • Compound, Dendritic
  • Dendrimer
  • Dendritic Compound
  • Dendritic Compounds
  • Dendritic Polymer
  • Dendritic Polymers
  • Dendrons
  • Polymer, Dendritic
  • Polymers, Dendritic

  • coordinate with compounds comprising the dendrimers

Scope note

  • Tree-like, highly branched, polymeric compounds. They grow three-dimensionally by the addition of shells of branched molecules to a central core. The overall globular shape and presence of cavities gives potential as drug carriers and CONTRAST AGENTS.
