Descriptor dendrímeros
Scope note: Polímeros con aspecto arborescente y muy ramificados. Estos compuestos crecen en tres dimensiones merced a la adición de superficies externas de moléculas ramificadas unidas al núcleo central. El aspecto globular y la presencia de cavidades las habilita como portadores de fármacos y de AGENTES DE CONTRASTE.
