Abstract
Facially amphiphilic dendrimers have been shown to provide significant difference in surface behavior due to subtle changes in structure. The monodendrons are capable of providing hydrophobic surfaces, while the didendrons provide superhydrophobic surfaces. This provides an example of how a molecular level change could result in significant changes in surface behavior. This difference is attributed to the conformational differences exhibited by these dendrimers on surfaces.Mesh:
