Abstract:
The review aims majorly on four areas namely: Architecturing, Synthesis, Properties & Applications of the dendrimer. The unique architectural design of dendrimers, high degree of branching, multivalency, globular architecture and well-defined molecular weight, clearly distinguishes these structures as unique and optimum nanocarriers in medical applications such as drug delivery, gene transfection, tumor therapy, diagnostics, etc. Synthetic approaches lead to a dendritic architecture with properties amenable to modifications of shape, size, polarity, surface properties and internal structure.
