Abstract
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 model leads to the "filled-core" model first elucidated by Lescanec and Muthukumar [Macromolecules 23, 2280 (1990)]]. The monomer density falls off parabolically from the center of the dendrimer, and the tips are distributed throughout the molecule.Year: 2003 PMID: 12570623 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.90.015502
