A simple model for the anomalous intrinsic viscosity of dendrimers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The intrinsic viscosity of dendrimers in solution shows several anomalous behaviors that have hitherto not been explained within the existing theoretical frameworks of either Zimm or Rouse. Here we propose a simple two-zone model based on the radial segmental density profile of the dendrimers and combine a non-draining core with a free-draining outer region description, to arrive at a simple formula that captures most of the main features in the intrinsic viscosity data obtained in experiments.

A SIMPLE ALGORITHM FOR COMPUTING TOPOLOGICAL INDICES OF DENDRIMERS
Dendritic macromolecules’ have attracted much attention as organic examples of well-defined nanostructures. These molecules are ideal model systems for studying how physical properties depend on molecular size and architecture. In this paper using a simple result, some GAP programs are prepared to compute Wiener and hyper Wiener indices of dendrimers.

The problem of calculating the electric polarizability tensor alpha(e) of objects of arbitrary shape has been reformulated in terms of path integration and implemented computationally. The method simultaneously yields the electrostatic capacity C and the equilibrium charge density. These functionals of particle shape are important in many materials science applications, including the conductivi...

Analysis of intrinsic irreversibility and heat transfer in a buoyancy-driven changeable viscosity liquid along an incline heated wall with convective cooling taking into consideration the heated isothermal and isoflux wall is investigated. By Newton’s law of cooling, we assumed the free surface exchange heat with environment and fluid viscosity is exponentially dependent on temperature. Appropr...
متن کاملCinnamoyl Shell-Modified Poly(amidoamine) Dendrimers
Poly(amidoamine)(PAMAM) dendrimers with a cinnamoyl shell were prepared by reacting full generation PAMAM dendrimers (G53.0) with 2-chloroethanol and cinnamoyl chloride, which resulted in densely packed polymerizable unsaturated groups on the periphery. The cinnamoyl shell of the dendrimers dimerized when irradiated under a UV light by using 5-nitroacenaphthylene as an initiator in dilute dimet...
