Recent studies showed instability of poly (amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers during interaction with surfactant (SDS). Modification of PAMAM dendrimers by grafting mono methoxy poly (ethylene glycol) (MPEG) chains at PAMAM surfaces was carried out to achieve colloidal stability in the presence of an an...
