Generations of two dendrimers based on poly(propylenimine) with CN and palm
itoyl terminal groups was studied by translational diffusion and viscometri
c methods. The (D-3[eta])(-1) values obtained were compared with the calcul
ated molecular weights. By comparing the volumes of these dendrimers with t
hose of the previously studied lacto-poly(propylene) dendrimers, the volume
s occupied by the terminal groups in hybrid dendrimers were estimated.
