| Abstract | A series of ionic amphiphilic dendrimers constituted by the grafting of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) of different generations (G = 0–4) with linear carboxylic acids bearing hydrophobic chains has been prepared. Their self-assembly tendency both in bulk and in water has been investigated. Almost all of the compounds present liquid crystalline behaviour as shown by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing optical microscopy (POM), and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) studies. Smectic A mesomorphism has been found for all of the compounds and rectangular columnar mesophase is displayed for the highest generation compound at low temperature. Interestingly these amphiphilic dendrimers are also capable to self-assemble in water depending on their hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance forming some nanoobjects. In most of the cases these nanoobjects resemble nanospheres whose morphology has been studied by means of transmission electronic microscopy (TEM). The stability of these nanospheres is disrupted in acid or basic media and their amphiphilic nature makes it possible for them to host both hydrophobic (β-carotene) and hydrophilic (Rhodamine B) molecules. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
