Abstract
Cellulose-based dendrimerized material was prepared and its quality was assessed by determining the number of amine functional groups incorporated. Based on the results for a series of preparations, the material was obtained in a highly reproducible manner thanks to the particular chemical construction method used. The number of amine groups incorporated and the amount of dendrimer attached are directly related to the dendrimer generation. The combination of the properties of the cellulose polymer and those of the dendrimeric state provides biocompatible materials amenable to easy chemical characterization. The proposed method provides an effective tool for developing clinically testable materials with a view to studying adverse immunological responses to drugs in humans.Keywords
