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.Keywords
