Abstract

Abstract Poly (β-aminoester) dendrimers have been prepared. These systems represent the first degradable dual pH-and temperature-responsive dendrimers displaying photoluminescence. The pH/temperature sensitivities are interrelated; the lower critical solution temperature of the dendrimer decreases as the pH of the solution is increased. The sensitivities are mainly due to phase changes of the surface groups with changes in pH or ...
