A target branching functionality of around 15 side chains per backbone chain and a constant branch molecular weight of either 5000 g mol−1 (seriesries) or 30 000 g mol−1 (seriesries) were used for each generation.
It involves replacing distinguishable features of the chain such as monomer units, branches, functionality, etc., with a numeric code that can be translated into a unique decimal equivalent number.
The branching functionality of the micelles played an important role in the solubilization process: for copolymers of similar composition, the solubilization capacity and rate were lower for higher generations, presumably due to the more rigid structure of the molecules.
Bilar concluded that malware has a simpler program flow structure, less interaction, fewer branches and less functionality than benign software.
The high level of control over the dendritic architecture (size, branching density, surface functionality) makes dendrimers ideal carriers in these applications.
This is an interesting difference between muscles that could be a consequence of the different innervation with either trigeminal branches (masseter muscle) or spinal branches (tibialis muscle) and functionality of the nerves regarding motor and sensory functions [58].
The single major exception are branches belonging to the old world monkeys subtree (the most closely related to human), which, despite their relative short length, bear significant amount of information over the fate of sites along the human branch, probably because their functionality is very similar to that in human.
Emanating from an initiator core, the layer-by-layer expansive growth allows for the synthesis of varying 'generations' of dendrimers with different hydrodynamic sizes, branching points and surface functionality (Fig. 7a) [111].
The theoretical findings were compared with the respective results of star polymers with the same functionality and equivalent branch lengths.
In addition to the dual functionality, the PLLA branches also provide miscibility with PLA in the blend (as confirmed by a single Tg, combined with estimates from the Fox equation and solubility parameters).
