Dendrimer-protein interactions versus dendrimer-based nanomedicine [PDF]
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2017 Dendrimers are hyperbranched polymers belonging to the huge class of nanomedical devices. Their wide application in biology and medicine requires understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of their interactions with biological systems. Summarizing, electrostatic force plays the predominant role in dendrimer-protein interactions, especially with ...

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Decorated with Polycationic Dendrimers for Infection Treatment [PDF]
Acta Biomaterialia. 68, 261-271 (2018), 2021 This work aims to provide an effective and novel solution for the treatment of infection by using nanovehicles loaded with antibiotics capable of penetrating the bacterial wall, thus increasing the antimicrobial effectiveness. These nanosystems, named "nanoantibiotics", are composed of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), which act as nanocarriers ...

Dendrimer Assisted Dispersion of Carbon Nanotubes: A Molecular Dynamics Study [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2016,12, 8512-8520, 2016 Various unique physical, chemical, mechanical and electronic properties of carbon nanotube (CNT) make it very useful materials for diverse potential application in many fields. Experimentally synthesized CNTs are generally found in bundle geometry with a mixture of different chirality and present a unique challenge to separate them.

Coupled exciton model with off-diagonal disorder for optical excitations in extended dendrimers [PDF]
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 1 (1999) 1687-1689, 1998 A phenomenological coupled exciton model is proposed in order to characterize optical excitations in extended dendrimers. An onsite exciton state is assigned at each phenyl rings and a nearest neighbor hopping integral which obeys the Gaussian distribution is considered between the exciton states.
