1. Dendrimer
   A polymer having a regular branched structure. If suitably functionalized (such as the benzyl alcohol-substituted it may be used as a soluble support, in which case the desired, dendrimer-supported, material may be isolated by size-exclusion chromatography. Dendrimers may also be attached to a polym...

2. Dendrimer
   A dendrimer is an artificially manufactured or synthesized molecule built up from branched units called monomers. Such processes involve working on the scale of nanometers. Technically, a dendrimer is a polymer, which is a large molecule comprised of many smaller ones linked together.
