“…Dendrimers have received increasing attention over the past several decades as attractive candidate materials for a variety of applications such as therapeutic delivery systems [1][2][3][4][5], imaging agents [4,6,7], templates for catalytic metal nanoparticles [8][9][10], and extraction agents for the removal of organic pollutants and toxic metals from water and soil [11][12][13][14]. The breadth across applications is attributed to dendrimers being well-defined, monodisperse nanostructures with tunable critical nanoscale design parameters [15,16], such as size, shape, rigidity, surface functionality, and solvent affinity.…”
