Stearyl‐group‐terminated poly(ester amide) dendrimers [PEAD (R) 3 and PEAD (R) 8 ] and a poly(amino amide) dendrimer [PAMAM (R) 4 ] were synthesized by the amidation of three, eight, and four terminated primary amino groups in poly(ester amine) dendrimers and a poly(amino amide) dendrimer with stearyl chloride. The dendrimer structures were characterized with IR and elemental analysis. The toluene solutions of the stearyl‐group‐terminated dendrimers were thermosensitive. Not only did gels form in PEAD (R) 3 –, PEAD (R) 8 –, and PAMAM (R) 4 –toluene solutions below 57.5, 60, and 49°C, respectively, but the content of toluene in the gels depended on the temperature, and a break existed at about 30°C. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
