Abstract
By the use of a dynamic Monte Carlo method, three‐generation dendrimers of type F1F2F2 with functionalities F1 = 3 to 6 and F2 = 2 to F1–1 are simulated and investigated as functions of spacer lengths, with a total chain length up to 200 000 segments. Highly diluted athermal and theta solutions are studied as well as properties of non‐reversal random walk dendrimers for comparison. For athermal conditions mean square dimensions obey the same scaling law regarding the total number of bonds as linear chains, irrespective of functionality and complexity. Likewise the theta parameter is the same for all systems investigated. Dimensions of theta systems are slightly expanded as compared to non‐reversal random walk data, the effect increasing with increasing F1 and F2 while shape data near to theta conditions fairly well coincide with those of non‐reversal random walks.
