  • Method for encapsulating pollutants from water using modified dendrimeric polymers
    Patent number: 7767091
    Abstract: The invention deals with lipophilic modified dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers that can encapsulate organic pollutants of a diversity of sizes and shapes and which are prepared following the modification of the functional groups present at the surface of the polymer. These functional polymers are characterized by the fact that their nanocavities do not have predetermined dimensions but their size and shape are affected by the size and shape of the pollutant they will encapsulate or otherwise they will be so-adjusted to it.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 21, 2004
    Date of Patent: August 3, 2010
    Assignee: The National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos”
    Inventors: Constantinos Paleos, Dimitrios Triourvas, Oreozili Sideratou, Michael Arkas
