Abstract:The synthesis of nanoparticle‐cored dendrimers (NCDs) through surface functionalization of iron oxide nanoparticles (γ‐Fe2O3) by combining the conventional silane coupling agent 3‐(aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APS) with dendritic moieties is studied and presented. Much emphasis has been put on the role played by each modifier and how they interact not only between themselves, but also with the dispersing media wherein the resulting NCDs are. As a part of the functionalization, redox‐active nitro groups were i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
