Abstract

Dendrimers have emerged as one of the most interesting themes for researchers as a result of unique functional architecture and macromolecular characteristics. The reported methods of PEGylation are very time consuming and required multisteps for synthesis. In present work we have synthesized PEGylated polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers using epichlorohydrin as a linker. The PEGylated dendrimers were evaluated for color reaction UV, IR and NMR studies and compared with standard data.
