We study the role of hydrodynamic interactions for the relaxation of segments’ orientations in dendrimers. The dynamics is considered in the Zimm framework. It is shown that inclusion of correlations between segments’ orientations plays a major role for the segments’ mobility, which reveals itself in the nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation functions. The enhancement of the reorientation dynamics of segments due to the hydrodynamic interactions is more significant for the inner segments. This effect is clearly pronounced in the reduced spectral density ωJ(ω) , maximum of which shifts to higher frequencies when the hydrodynamic interactions are taken into account.
