A collagen model peptide-attached dendrimer was synthesized as a potential functional collagen material. The peptides that clustered at the surface of the dendrimer formed a thermally reversible collagen-like triple helix. This dendrimer worked as a drug carrier with thermosensitive release capabilities, although it did not exhibit a lower critical solution temperature. From this dendrimer, the hydrogel could be made at low temperature.
