Abstract

Dendrimers : from the art of building precise molecules to the dissemination through the world

Highlights

  • The word dendrimer comes from the Greek and represents new molecular systems, which become more branched at each successive connection

  • In order to disseminate the knowledge related to dendrimer, to expand the studies that have been carried out in the area, as well as to strengthen the communication between the researchers, since 1999 are being conducted international events regarding to this scope, known as International Dendrimer Symposium (IDS)

  • The Symposium had as General Coordinator Professor Elizabeth Igne Ferreira, who is carrying out research in this field since 2005

Summary

Introduction

The word dendrimer comes from the Greek (dendron = tree) and represents new molecular systems, which become more branched at each successive connection. These compounds are designed by a central core, repeated branches from the core, (which characterize the generations), and surface groups. These compounds have been attracting great interest from academic community and industrial segment, showing numerous applications in nanotechnology fields.
