In this work, we study the internal density distribution in a dendrimer or starburst polymers system at different generations. We have used different techniques like small angle X-ray scattering, quasi-elastic light scattering and a Molecular dynamics simulation. Obtained data, compared with the literature ones, proposed that lower generation dendrimers display an internal self-similar structure, whereas the higher generations tend to exhibit a spherical homogenous dense structure.

Abstract
In this work, we study the internal density distribution in a dendrimer or starburst polymers system at different generations. We have used different techniques like small angle X-ray scattering, quasi-elastic light scattering and a Molecular dynamics simulation. Obtained data, compared with the literature ones, proposed that lower generation dendrimers display an internal self-similar structure, whereas the higher generations tend to exhibit a spherical homogenous dense structure.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
