摘要: Using the electrostatic complex of G4 poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer with an amphiphilic surfactant as a model system, contrast variation small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is implemented to resolve key structural characteristics dendrimer-based guest–host system. Quantifications radial distributions length density and hydration level within molecule reveal that embedded in peripheral region steric crowding this increases backfolding dendritic segments, thereby reducing throughout molecule. The insights into spatial location guest molecules well perturbations conformation deduced here are crucial for delicate design system biomedical applications.
