Amphiphilic dendrimers control protein binding and corona formation on liposome nanocarriers

Amphiphilic polyphenylene dendrimers adsorbed to liposomes alter the protein corona dependent on their charge and hydrophobicity.

The effect of size and concentration of nanoparticles on the glass transition temperature of polymer nanocomposites

Here we use model nanocomposites based on polystyrene and polyphenylene dendrimers to show both theoretically and experimentally that inclusion of rigid nanoparticles of 2.3–5 nm size into the polymer leads to a negligible glass transition temperature (Tg) increase.

The polar side of polyphenylene dendrimers

The site-specific functionalization of poly(phenylene) dendrimers can produce macromolecules with a range of different polarities.
