title: Dendrimers: Analytical characterization and applications.
abstract: This review focuses on analytical techniques used for separation and characterization of dendrimers and their derivatives. These macromolecules have been attractive material for a development of new drug carriers and imaging agents. They are also interesting for many biological and industrial applications. The review mentions a few of them.
