Thermotropic liquid crystals formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions
TL;DR: The role of hydrogen bonding in the formation or stabilization of liquid crystalline phases has only recently been appreciated as mentioned in this paper, and the main classes of compounds exhibiting liquid crystallinity due to hydrogen bonding are presented to show the diversity of organic compounds that can be used as building elements in liquid crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supramolecular hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals
TL;DR: The role of hydrogen-bonding interactions in the formation and/or stabilization of liquid crystalline phases has been recognized in recent years and significant work has been conducted as discussed by the authors, with the aim of establishing, in the first place, the diversity of organic compounds that can be used as building elements in the process of liquid crystal formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Poly(propyleneimine) Dendrimers as pH‐Sensitive Controlled‐Release Systems
TL;DR: Molecular composites were prepared by solubilizing pyrene in di- aminobutane poly(propyleneimine) den- drimers having 32 or 64 primary amine end groups (DAB-32 or DAB-64) and fluorescence studies were employed to probe the release of pyrene from the interior of dendrimers as a function of pH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic/inorganic hybrid filters based on dendritic and cyclodextrin "nanosponges" for the removal of organic pollutants from water.
TL;DR: It has been established that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can be removed very efficiently (more than 95%), and final concentrations of several ppb (microg/ L) are easily obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Engineering of Dendritic Polymers and Their Application as Drug and Gene Delivery Systems
TL;DR: The review deals with the type of structural modifications to which these dendritic polymers were subjected for the development of drug carriers with low toxicity, high encapsulating capacity, a specificity for certain biological cells, and the ability to be transported through their membranes.
