Abstract
The synthesis and liquid crystalline behaviour of several sixteen-branched dendrimers based on poly(amidoamine)
(PAMAM) and poly(propyleneimine)
(DAB) are reported. Mono-, di- and trialkoxybenzoyloxysalicylaldehydes are used as mesogenic promotor moieties and are attached at the peripheral amino groups of the pre-existing dendrimers. All the compounds exhibit liquid crystalline properties which were studied by
