We have attempted to form “model” PEG networks by endlinking telechelic vinyl sulfone endfunctionalized PEG with the terminal amines on commercially available dendrimers. These
dendrimers are novel crosslinking agents in that they have multiple reactive amines (and thus would likely tether PEG chains into the network at both ends) as well as being of sufficient size (ca.
5 nm. to 10 nm.) such that they might be conveniently seen in a microscopy and/or scattering experiment. Thus these dendrimer based networks might be good models for the effects of crosslink
functionality and chain length effects on the network properties.
