Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last decades, dendrimers have attracted considerable attention from the scientific community due to the wide range of properties and prospects of applications that these arborescent molecules can offer. Indeed, dendrimers exhibit a tridimensional shape, have the ability to encapsulate small molecules and to release them, and can be functionalized at their periphery or inside their branches by an infinite variety of functional groups. Thanks to these unique features, dendrimers can be viewed as promising candidates for applications in catalysis, in materials science, or in biology.

This special issue focuses on the design, synthesis and functionalization of dendrimer molecules with the aim to confer them specific properties that can be targeted for any domain of application.

We cordially invite you to share your knowledge and your recent accomplishments by submitting research articles or reviews for this Special Issue of International Journal of Molecular Science (IJMS) on the “Design, Synthesis and Applications of Dendrimer Materials”.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

This review describes the two-photon absorption properties of dendrimers, which are arborescent three-dimensional macromolecules differing from polymers by their perfectly defined structure. The two-photon absorption process is a third order non-linear optical property that is attractive because it can be used in a wide range of applications. In this review, dendrimers that were studied for their two-photon absorption properties are first described. Then, the use of dendritic TPA chromophores for light harvesting, photopolymerization, optical power limitation, cell imaging, singlet oxygen generation, and photodynamic therapy is described. This review thus proposes an overview of the properties and possible applications of two-photon absorbing dendrimers. Full article
