Scaling theory and computer simulation of star polymers in good solvents
The scaling theories and the results of the renormalization-group ε = 4−d expansion ( d is the spatial dimensionality) as well as the computer simulations such as Monte Carlo simulations are extensively reviewed for star polymers with very long flexible arms of equal length in a dilute solution...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | The scaling theories and the results of the renormalization-group ε = 4−d
expansion ( d is the spatial dimensionality) as well as the computer simulations
such as Monte Carlo simulations are extensively reviewed for star
polymers with very long flexible arms of equal length in a dilute solution
of the good solvent limit, with a close connection to general polymer networks.
In particular, the asymptotic behaviour of the conformational and
entropic quantities in the long chain limit is discussed in detail in terms of
the polymer-magnetism analogy. Discussions are given not only for static
properties such as the distribution functions and the osmotic pressure or
entropy but also for dynamic properties such as the relaxation time and the
intrinsic viscosity of star polymers. |
