A variety of experimental and theoretical approaches show that, akin to linear polymers,
dendrimers in good solvent conditions are best described as flexible macromolecular …

Using small-angle neutron scattering and liquid integral equation theory, we relate the
structure factor of flexible dendrimers of fourth generation to their average shape. The shape …

The synthesis and study of dendrimers has been truly dramatic in the last ten years. This
review gives a brief introduction to some of the key concepts and main synthetic strategies in …

We examine the sizes and conformations of flexible dendrimers of generation numbers G= 4
to G= 9 by means of Monte Carlo simulations on a coarse-grained level. To this end, we …

We present an analysis of the distribution of end groups within a urea-functionalized poly
(propyleneamine) dendrimer of the fourth generation by small-angle neutron scattering …

This chapter draws a comprehensive picture of what has been done in the field of
dendrimers with polymeric cores putting emphasis first on synthetic issues and then on …

We propose a theory for the effective interaction between soft dendritic molecules that is
based on the shape of the monomer density profile of the macromolecules at infinite …

In revisiting the original argument of de Gennes and Hervet [J. Phys.(Paris) 44, L351 (1983)]
leading to “hollow-core” dendrimers, we show that a self-consistent application of their …

Abstract Wedgelike dendrimer fragments,“dendrons”, attached to linear polymers as side
groups, can be used to create anisotropic “nanocylinders”, leading to uncoiling and …

We employ extensive Monte Carlo and molecular-dynamics simulations to investigate the
effective interactions between the centers of mass of dendritic macromolecules of variable …
