Dendrimer structure

ObjectivesIn a first step, the encapsulation capacity of different dendrimers was studied. Then, the optimal conditions ofthe reaction and a complete analysis of the interactions between the dendrimers and the essential oils will becarried out. In a second step, a study of the release of each system will be performed to create an effectivebiological pesticide.
