The influence of the branching patterns on the membrane properties of Janus dendrimers in water has been investigated by dissipative particle dynamics simulations. The hydrophobic fluorinated dendron (R F ) contains three types of branching patterns, including 3,4-, 3,5-, and 3,4,5-R F . Consistent...
