Dendrimers are a class of macromolecules whose application in NLO field has been considered recently [108]. Ideally, dendrimers are perfect monodisperse macro-molecules with a regular and highly branched three-dimensional architecture. Their monodisperse, tree-like nature determines interesting properties such as the formation of voids and nanostructures [109].
