Theoretical Investigations of Semiflexible Dendrimers — •Florian Fürstenberg, Maxim Dolgushev, and Alexander Blumen — Theoretische Polymerphysik, Universität Freiburg, Hermann-Herder-Str. 3, D-79104 Freiburg, Deutschland

Dendrimers are branched, highly regular synthetic polymers. Here we investigate the mechanical relaxation of semiflexible dendrimers of arbitrary functionality f and generation g. We focus on the matrix corresponding to their potential energy^[1] and show that the semi-analytical determination of its (highly degenerate) spectrum can be drastically simplified by using a suitable decomposition scheme^[2].
