Figure 2.Plot of the degree of polymerization versus the number of synthetic steps for a typical dendrimer synthesis: nonlinear repetitive synthesis. The efficiency of the dendrimer synthesis is compared to a typical linear repetitive synthesis in which only a constant number of monomers is added during each generation.
