Synthesis and transport properties of new dendritic core–shell architectures based on hyperbranched polyglycerol with biphenyl-PEG shells†‡
Abstract
A new core–shell type of nano-architectures based on hyperbranched polyglycerol (hPG) has been designed by attaching a mono(methoxy)polyethylene glycol (mPEG) shell either directly or through a hydrophobic biphenyl spacer to the hPG scaffold. Alternatively the hPG core was decorated with hydrophobic segments specifically located around the hPG and mPEG as the shell. The constructed structures were compared and contrasted for their ability to solubilize guest molecules of different polarity indices to their corresponding non-solvent for possible
