Midterm-Review Meeting
Work Package 3 Electro-Engines
A new idea is tested to have chemical energy to
move a multivalent molecule

• Dynamic Covalent Chemistry with dendrimers is
  tested
• All five generations can be made
• Modified surfaces are prepared
• Gradients in surface modification are achieved
  in
• collaboration with prof. Reinhoudt (UTwente).
• Directional movement of dendrimers is
  demonstrated
• Verification of experiments should be performed
• New idea should be discussed with partners
• All results are presented on poster T. Chang
