Polymeric micelles, stars and dendrimers in solution consist of a number of polymer chains that form relatively compact aggregates that exhibit internal dynamics and overall diffusion. Whereas the association of polymer in a micelle is usually driven by physical interactions, the star and dendrimer architecture is generally achieved by chemical bonds.
