The analysis of SANS data for a series of the poly(benzyl ether) dendrimers
of different molecular architecture in deuterated tetrahydrofuran and tolu
ene allowed to obtain information about some regularities of the relation b
etween the topology of the dendrimer molecule and its structural parameters
. The dimension of the present dendrimers of the poly(benzyl ether) type po
ints to a scaling law of the type R-g similar to M-1/3 in line with literat
ure information obtained for other chemically different dendrimers. (C) 200
