An activatable functionalised N
th
generation dendrimer having: a core comprising a first monomer having at least two carboxylic acid functional groups; and N successive generations, where N=0 to 10, wherein each generation comprises: a second monomer having at least two alcohol functional groups, wherein at least one alcohol group is bonded to a carboxylic acid group of the first monomer of the prior generation, and an additional first monomer attached to a second alcohol function group of said second monomer of that generation; and the final generation having attached thereto at said second alcohol functional group of said second monomer, a moiety having a dicarboxylic acid functional group, activatable by treatment with a carboxylic acid activating reagent such that reactivity of the carboxylic acid functional group is increased. The dendrimer, when activated, may be used in applications such as polymer crosslinking and/or nanoshell production.
一种可激活的功能化第N代树状分子,包括:核心包括至少两个
羧酸官能团的第一单体;和N代连续的代数,其中N = 0到10,其中每一代包括:至少两个醇官能团的第二单体,其中至少一个醇基与前一代的第一单体的
羧酸基团结合,以及附加到该代的第二单体的第二醇官能团的另一个第一单体;最终一代附着在该第二单体的第二醇官能团上的一个具有二
羧酸官能团的基团,通过与
羧酸活化试剂处理而激活,从而增加
羧酸官能团的反应性。激活后的树状分子可用于聚合物交联和/或纳米壳制备等应用。
