Dendrimers are highly branched, nanoscale polymers that are synthesized in an intricate, step-by-step process. They have numerous potential medical applications including as drug delivery agents, gene transfection vectors, and MRI contrast agents. Dendrimers can also be used as catalysts in industrial processes due to their large surface area and exposed reactive sites. While dendrimers show promise for targeted cancer therapies and other medical uses, further reducing production costs and improving synthesis methods are needed before their full potential can be realized.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. INTRODUCTION
Dendrimers are repetitively branched molecules
The name comes from Greek word “dendron”
which means “tree”.
Also called as ‘’arborols/ cascade molecules’’.
They are family of nanosized, highly branched
three dimensional molecules.
Dendrimers are highly defined
nanoparticles.
2
3. STRUCTURE OF DENDRIMERS
Dendrimers are built from a starting atom,
such as nitrogen, to which carbon and other
elements are added by a repeating series of
chemical reactions that produce a spherical
branching structure.
As the process repeats, successive layers
are added, and the sphere can be
expanded to the size required by the
investigator.
The result is a spherical macromolecular
structure whose size is similar to albumin
and hemoglobin
3
4. STRUCTURE OF DENDRIMER
Basic dendrimer components are
1) An interior core
2) Interior layers composed of repeating units radically
attached to cores.
3) Exterior layer (terminal functionality) attached to interior
generations.
4
6. IDEAL PROPERTIES OF
DENDRIMERS
1) Inert and non-toxic.
2) Biodegradable.
3) Non-immunogenic.
4) Able to cross barriers such as intestine, blood-tissue
barriers, cell membranes etc/
5) Able to stay in circulation for the time needed to have a
clinical effect.
6) Able to target to specific structures
7) Compatible with guest molecules.
8) Must protect the drug until it reaches to the desired site of
action and release the drug.

7. PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES
OF DENDRIMERS
Nanoscale size.
high solubility, miscibility and reactivity due to the
presence of many chain ends.
These carriers have significantly lower viscosity
than linear polymers.
Size and molecular weight can be controlled during
synthesis.

10. DIVERGENT METHOD
Divergent method was introduced by Tomali.
dendrimer grows outwards from a multifunctional
core molecule.
The core molecule reacts with monomer molecules
containing one reactive and two dormant groups
giving the first generation dendrimer.
Then the new periphery of the molecule is activated
for reactions with more monomers.
The process is repeated for several generations
and a dendrimer is built layer after layer.
10
12. DIVERGENT METHOD
DISADVANTAGE
1. Can cause trailing generations.
2. Difficult to purify the product.
3. Because the relative size differences
between perfect and imperfect
dendrimers is very small.
12
13. CONVERGENT METHOD
Dendrimer grows starting from end groups and
progresses inward.
Method makes impurity removal easier
monodisperse dendrimers are obtained.
But stearic effects along the core limits the size.
13
16. PAMAM DENDRIMER
PAMAM or Poly (Amido Amine) dendrimers are
spheroidal or ellipsoidal in shape.
These are synthesized by the divergent method
using ammonia or ethylenediamine as a starting
material.
The high solubility and reactivity of these are due to
presence of a number of functional end groups and
empty internal cavities.
Commercially available as methanol solutions.

17. PAMAM DENDRIMER
Starburst is a trademark name for a sub-class of
PAMAM dendrimers based on a trisaminoethylene-

dendritic and linear polymers having characters of
both.
these are obtained by complete
monofunctionalization of the peripheral amines of a
