Molecular dynamic simulations were carried out to investigate structural properties of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers. The size and shape of the dendrimers were analyzed as a function of the generation number. It was found that at high generations, a transition from an open self-similar density distribution to a spherical homogeneous compact structure takes place.

Abstract
Molecular dynamic simulations were carried out to investigate structural properties of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers. The size and shape of the dendrimers were analyzed as a function of the generation number. It was found that at high generations, a transition from an open self-similar density distribution to a spherical homogeneous compact structure takes place.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
