The intrinsic viscosities of a group of polyamidoamine PAMAM dendrimer, hav
ing ethylenediamine as the core, have been investigated. The intrinsic visc
osity of G=0. 5 similar to 4. 5 PAMAM shows a maximum at G=2 similar to 3,
while the ammonium quanternaries show a minimum there. The hydrodynamic rad
ii of PAMAM calculated from intrinsic viscosity, increase approximately lin
early with dendrimer generation.
