Molecular Nanocapsules Based on Amphiphilic Hyperbranched Polyglycerols

Polar dyes can be solubilized in apolar media—molecular nanocapsules with hydrophilic interiors have been prepared (see schematic representation) using polyglycerols with narrow polydispersity and simple esterification with fatty acids. These unimolecular micelles offer attractive potential for a va...

Summary:Polar dyes can be solubilized in apolar media—molecular nanocapsules with hydrophilic interiors have been prepared (see schematic representation) using polyglycerols with narrow polydispersity and simple esterification with fatty acids. These unimolecular micelles offer attractive potential for a variety of applications ranging from controlled drug release to the design of microreactors and catalysts.
