Dendrimers
Density profile
Dense shell model
Dense core model
Most studies support the dense core model of Lescanec and Muthukumar[2] [3] despite early uptake of the dense shell model.
Radius of gyration
It has been suggested that the radius of gyration () scales as [4]
where is the number of monomers.
Specific dendrimers
- Carbosilane
- PAMAM (also known as STARBURST®)
- PBzE poly(benzyl ether)
- PPI (polypropylenimine)
- Tecto dendrimers
