Outline of Final Research Achievements

We synthesized imidazolium-terminated POSS-core poly(amidoamine)-dendrimers and found that domains similar to a imidazolium-typed ionic lquid formed in the cast films of the dendrimers. They showed high ionic and electronic conductivities. We also synthesized POSS-core dendrimers bearing π-conjugated units on their terminal groups formed thermoplastic transparent free-standing films depending upon their spacer length at room temperature. These findings suggest that the POSS-core dendrimers are ideal candidates for the construction of ordered nano-sized network architectures for solid-sate materials.
