Abstract

3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane was acrylated using the Michael addition reaction. After that, magnetite nanoparticles were coupled with the silane dispersion. The structure of poly(amino-ester) dendrons grafted on the surface of magnetite nanoparticles was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Generally, in the convergent method structural control is better than in the divergent one due to its relatively low number of reactions at each growth step. Therefore, the number of dendrons grafted onto the surface of magnetite nanoparticles increase via convergent synthesis. Moreover, the analysis showed that the prepared nanoparticles had nanometric size, low polydispersity and high yield.
