Engineering nanospaces: Iterative synthesis of melamine-based dendrimers on amine-functionalized SBA-15 leading to complex hybrids with controllable chemistry and porosity
A series of melamine-based dendrimers of various generations are grown directly off the surface of amine-functionalized SBA-15 (see Figure), demonstrating the feasibility of using functionalized mesoporous silica as a solid-phase support for organic-inorganic hybrid materials.
