Abstract

Interactions between gallic acid molecules and different types of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers with modified surfaces were studied by spectrofluorimetric methods. Changes in fluorescence intensity of gallic acid and in a position of spectrum were monitored. It was found that the extent of gallic acid incorporation into dendrimers depends on a type of a dendrimer.
