Dendrimers. Dendrimers can be characterised by three parameters: functionality (), spacer length (Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle P} ) and number of generations (Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle G} ). The number of monomers (Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle N} ) in a dendrimer is given by

Density profile
Dense shell model
Dense core model
Most studies support the dense core model of Lescanec and Muthukumar[2] [3] despite early uptake of the dense shell model.
Radius of gyration
It has been suggested that the radius of gyration () scales as [4]
