Technologies for Dendrimer Characterization
Dendrimers are hyperbranched polymer molecules with a near-perfect geometric three-dimensional structure and a unique branched topology that gives them a completely different function from linear polymers. Dendrimers are spherical in shape and are composed of three different structural domains that form a specific structure: (a) a central core; (b) branches emanating from the core; and (c) terminal functional groups that play a key role in the properties of the dendrimer. With the large number of applications of dendrimers in various fields, there is an urgent need for characterization techniques to determine the chemical composition, morphology, shape, homogeneity, etc. Dendrimers are involved in both molecular chemistry (using stepwise synthesis methods during synthesis) and polymer chemistry (repeating structures consisting of monomers) and can therefore be characterized using analytical techniques from both fields. Analytical techniques are used to study the chemical composition, morphology, shape, polydispersity, homogeneity, synthesis, conjugation, reaction rate, molecular weight, structural defects, and purity of dendrimers, including spectroscopic methods, scattering techniques, microscopic techniques, chromatographic techniques, and electrical techniques.
Spectroscopic Techniques
Spectroscopic techniques can be used not only for elucidating molecular structures but also for qualitative and quantitative analysis of inorganic and organic compounds. Spectroscopic techniques used for the characterization of dendrimers include mass spectrometry (MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), fluorescence spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Among them, MS can be used to determine the molecular weight, structural defects, polydispersity, and purity of dendrimers. NMR and EPR provide unique structural information of dendrimers.
Chromatographic Techniques
Chromatographic techniques include gel permeation chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography for the analysis of homogeneity and polydispersity of dendrimers.
Scattering Techniques
Scattering techniques are essential for dendrimer characterization, such as small angle neutron scattering (SANS), quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS), small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). In addition, these methods can be used to characterize the structure, conformation, and shape of dendrimers, etc.
Microscopic Techniques
Microscopes used for dendrimer characterization include atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). AFM is a very useful technique for characterizing the structure and behavior of dendrimers. TEM is a microscopic technique used to analyze the average size, shape, and size distribution of dendrimers.
Electrophoretic Techniques
Electrophoretic techniques include polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, agarose gel electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis. Among them, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis provide useful information on the purity and homogeneity of dendrimers as well as electrophoretic mobility. The stability, charge and molar ratio of dendrimers can be studied using agarose gel electrophoresis method.
