Bioinspired Design and Synthesis of Polyphenolic Star‐Like and Hyperbranched Polyester Models
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Gallotannin‐inspired star‐like and hyperbranched aromatic polyesters were synthesized from D‐glucose and ABn‐type phenolic acid monomers, such as protocatechuic acid. This bioinspired approach afforded polyphenolic polymeric nanoparticles able to encapsulate hydrophobic dyes, opening new perspectives for biobased encapsulation and delivery systems ...
