Potential applications

Dendrimers are macromolecules synthesised from molecular units. Therefore the specificity of function normally associated with small molecules can be reproduced and potentially enhanced in a macromolecular structure. This means that the applications to which dendrimers could potentially make a significant contribution are wide-ranging, with key technologies including:

Opto-electronics

Sensors

Organic electronics

Photochromic applications

Solubilising
nanoparticles

Light harvesting applications

Thermal imaging
