Research and Markets: Dendrimers: Towards Catalytic, Material and Biomedical Uses

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/21457c/dendrimers_toward) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Dendrimers: Towards Catalytic, Material and Biomedical Uses" to their offering.

“Dendrimers: Towards Catalytic, Material and Biomedical Uses”

This book will be mainly focussed on the properties and uses of dendrimers and dendrons. The aim of this book is to be the reference book about dendrimers applications. It will not describe all details, but it will give the reader a unique overview of what has currently been done with dendrimers, with numerous references and illustrations.

It will be divided in four main parts:

Part 1) Generalities, syntheses, characterizations and properties;

Part 2) Applications in catalysis;

Part 3) Applications for the elaboration or modification of materials;

Part 4) Applications in biology/medicine. The role of the nanometric size and the multiple functions of dendrimers on the properties will be emphasized.
