Synthesis and properties of dendritic polymers based on natural amino acids

Different approaches, including polycondensation, polymerization, polymer analog condensation, and ionic binding have been investigated for synthesis of amino acid-based dendritic polymers. It was shown that a growth of dendrons generation prevents obtaining of products with high polymerization degree in polycondensation and polymerization procedures. In polymer analog condensation a growth of dendrons generation leads to considerable decrease of polymer analog reaction rate as well as substitution degree. Degree of ionic binding depends on a strength of ionogenic groups and dendrns generation.
