The structural characteristics of polycarbosilane dendrimers with different molecular architecture were determined in solutions by small angle neutron and X-ray scattering. The same linear dimensions were sized up for the dendrimers both in benzene and chloroform. A solvent molecules penetration inside dendrimer structure in amount up to 30 vol.% was found from the comparison of the partial and effective scattering volume for the dendrimers in solution.
