And compared with intricately branched polymers called dendrimers, the new material appears to be more "densely knitted" in structure, rather than "crocheted:' Bianconi says. Experimental samples were produced to form both linear and branched polymers at three different molecular weights. The new molecule - a lacy, branched polymer known as a dendrimer - has a precisely defined structure and can be produced in surprisingly uniform batches, says Jeffrey S. |
