Chains bearing dendritic wedges CBDW

A GGS model was used to treat side-chain dendritic polymers [78]. The model is given in Fig. 21 it consists of chains bearing dendritic wedges (CBDW) in their middles. A dendritic wedge (DW) differs from a conventional classical dendrimer in that its core has one main branch less /c = (/ - 1). For such DW the results of the previous section hold [74,78]. In particular, the maximal relaxation time of a DW is the same as that of a classical dendrimer, because this time corresponds to the motion of two main branches against each other. 

The simplest GGS model for such polymer networks is the so-called fixed-chain-ends model a single chain bearing dendritic wedges (CBDW), whose ends are fixed in space (immobile) [78]. From a physical point of view, it cor-...
