“…The branches then form inwards, eventually attaching to a core. This method is easier because impurities can be easily eliminated, but large quantities of dendrimers cannot be produced by this method [135][136][137][138].…”

“…Over the last 20 years polymer chemistry has created a non-linear polymeric structure coined dendritic polymers. Their architecture arises from the introduction of a large number of branches with many functional end groups (Froehling, 2001). Fig.…”

“…16. Incorporation of hyperbranched polymers into the fiber structure (Froehling, 2001) Two classes of these polymers are dendrimers with a perfectly branched uniform structure and hyperbranched polymers with non-uniform ones. It was already suggested by different authors that highly branched molecules should be able to act as a host for the encapsulation of guest molecules of dyes or a dendritic box.…”

“…It was already suggested by different authors that highly branched molecules should be able to act as a host for the encapsulation of guest molecules of dyes or a dendritic box. This structure can lead to industrial development of dyeable poly(propylene) fiber (Froehling, 2001) (.cf Figure 16). Other authors suggested that an improvement in dyeability of the polymeric-hyperbranched additive nanocomposites can be attributed to the decrease in glass transition temperature and the lower crystallinity of the polymers (Khatibzadeh et al, 2010).…”

“…One can thus vary the topological properties of the system by choosing different network architectures and by choosing different arrangements of the complexes on them. As for the architectures, we will focus on well-known regular structures like Cayley Trees and Regular Hyperbranched Fractals [15,[17][18][19][20] as well as randomly-generated ones (representing, respectively, presence or lack of control over the networks assemblage). Once a specific architecture is selected, one has to address the problem of selecting specific arrangements of LH1/LH2 complexes on it.…”

We address the role of topology in the energy transport process that occurs in networks of photosynthetic complexes. We take inspiration from light harvesting networks present in purple bacteria and simulate an incoherent dissipative energy transport process on more general and abstract networks, considering both regular structures (Cayley trees and hyperbranched fractals) and randomlygenerated ones. We focus on the the two primary light harvesting complexes of purple bacteria, i.e., the LH1 and LH2, and we use network-theoretical centrality measures in order to select different LH1 arrangements. We show that different choices cause significant differences in the transport efficiencies, and that for regular networks centrality measures allow to identify arrangements that ensure transport efficiencies which are better than those obtained with a random disposition of the complexes. The optimal arrangements strongly depend on the dissipative nature of the dynamics and on the topological properties of the networks considered, and depending on the latter they are achieved by using global vs. local centrality measures. For randomly-generated networks a random arrangement of the complexes already provides efficient transport, and this suggests the process is strong with respect to limited amount of control in the structure design and to the disorder inherent in the construction of randomly-assembled structures. Finally, we compare the networks considered with the real biological networks and find that the latter have in general better performances, due to their higher connectivity, but the former with optimal arrangements can mimic the real networks' behaviour for a specific range of transport parameters. These results show that the use of networktheoretical concepts can be crucial for the characterization and design of efficient artificial energy transport networks.
