Abstract

The thermodynamic characteristics of ultimately dilute solutions of n-alkanes and n-alkanols in columnar and isotropic poly(propyleneimine) dendrimer phases of three generations (G1-G3) were studied by reversed-phase gas chromatography. The influence of the structure of dendrimers and the chemical nature and the size of nonmesogen molecules on their ability to be dissolved in liquid crystalline phases is discussed. It was found that the compatibility of low-molecular-weight compounds with anisotropic phases increased as the number of dendrimer generation grew.
