Abstract

In this chapter dendrimer basics are reviewed. It is impossible to describe, refer to or even list the related literature (our “dendrimer” database consists of over 7,000 papers and patents), thus selection of references has been made based on personal preference, often choosing clarity over details and overarching principles instead of detailed chemical structures. A large number of excellent reviews are available to those who are interested in more detail in particular areas1–26. References will take the reader to original scientific papers that provide more detail about a particular topic, describe experiments, and draw conclusions reflecting each author’s personal views. Even listing of books and reviews must be partial, as they number in the hundreds.
