Nanocomposites of dendritic polymers

A method of forming a composite composition comprising:

• providing a dendritic polymer having an interior and an exterior surface which exterior surface is sufficiently permeable to allow at least one molecule of a first reactant and at least one molecule of a second reactant to enter the interior, and provided that said first reactant and said second reactant are not the same, and wherein at lest the second reactant is soluble in a selected solvent in which the dendritic polymer and the first reactant are insoluble;
• introducing the first reactant and second reactant into the interior of the dendritic polymer;
• solubilizing the second reactant in the selected solvent and reacting the second reactant in a liquid or gas phase with the first reactant;
• and
• reacting the first reactant and second reactant within said interior to form a reaction product which reaction product is constrained within the interior of the dendritic polymer, without forming a covalent bond between the dendritic polymer and the first reactant, second reactant or reaction product.

• providing a dendritic polymer having an interior and an exterior surface which exterior surface is sufficiently permeable to allow at least one molecule of a first reactant and at least one molecule of a second reactant to enter the interior, and provided that said first reactant and said second reactant are not the same;
• providing two phases wherein the dendritic polymer is soluble in a first phase and insoluble in a second phase, and in which second phase at least one of the first reactant and second reactant is soluble, and wherein the second phase soluble reactants pass through an interphase between the phases into the interior of the dendritic polymer;
• introducing the first reactant and second reactant into the interior of the dendritic polymer;
• and
• reacting the first reactant and second reactant within said interior to form a reaction product which reaction product is constrained within the interior of the dendritic polymer, without forming a covalent bond between the dendritic polymer and the first reactant, second reactant or reaction product.

• providing a selected solvent wherein the dendritic polymer, the first reactant and second reactant are all soluble;
• solubilizing the dendritic polymer, the first reactant and second reactant in the selected solvent;
• reacting the first reactant and second reactant in solution phase;
• introduction the first reactant and second reactant into the interior of the dendritic polylmer;
• and
• reacting the first reactant and second reactant within said interior to form a reaction product, which reaction product is insoluble in the solvent and is constrained within the interior of the dendritic polymer, without forming a covalent bond between the dendritic polymer and the first reactant, second reactant or reaction product.
