39. 0 = 0.14. The average number of terminal groups for the dendron attached at the graft point that fall in each shell is obtained from the simulations. The profiles are assembled from examining all grafting sites and then-corresponding dendrons except for those sites that lie at the chain ends. The profiles are then normalized such that the total area under the curves is unity.
