Dendrimer molecule

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002987",
  "term": "Dendrimer molecule",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A highly branched, monodisperse macromolecule characterized by a central core from which successive layers of branched units, called generations, emanate in a radially symmetrical fashion. Each generation typically doubles the number of terminal groups. These molecules possess a well-defined, globular structure and precise molecular weight.",
