AB  - This special issue entitled "Functional Dendrimers" focuses on the manipulation 
      of at least six "critical nanoscale design parameters" (CNDPs) of dendrimers 
      including: size, shape, surface chemistry, flexibility/rigidity, architecture and 
      elemental composition. These CNDPs collectively define properties of all 
      "functional dendrimers". This special issue contains many interesting examples 
      describing the manipulation of certain dendrimer CNDPs to create new emerging 
      properties and, in some cases, predictive nanoperiodic property patterns (i.e., 
      dendritic effects). The systematic engineering of CNDPs provides a valuable 
      strategy for optimizing functional dendrimer properties for use in specific 
      applications.
