Fast growing dendritic poly(ester-amines) from alternate reaction of EDA and TMPTA

Starting with ethylene diamine (EDA) as the core, dendritic poly(ester-amines) were prepared from directly alternate reaction of EDA and trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) under mild conditions without protection-deprotection steps. Multiple reactive hydrogen atoms in EDA and acrylate groups in TMPTA led to fast growing of dendrimers and the number of their peripheral groups. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
