Dendrites correlations with polymer

AF4 coupled with static and DLS detectors enables comprehensive information about structural and branching characteristics of biopolymers (e.g., starches), synthetic polymers, proteins, etc. [25, 26]. Especially in case of branched polymer stractures like dendronized glycopolymers, the separation and characterization with AF4-LS lead to comprehensive information and understanding in molecular structures and aggregation behavior [27]. Furthermore, studies of uptake studies of dendritic glycopolymers and dye molecules were performed for the first time by AF4-LS (see Fig. 4.12). Here, a good correlation was obtained between the increase of molar mass and the quantified amount of dye molecules, which were encapsulated by the glycopolymers [28].
