Dynamics of Regular Star Polymers: The Intrinsic Viscosity

The dynamics of a regular star polymer is investigated under good-solvent and Θ conditions. A self-consistent approach to the equilibrium and dynamics is proposed within the Gaussian approximation in…

The configurational free energy of a polymer chain

The configurational, or elastic, free energy Ael of a polymer chain is discussed in terms of the Fourier configurational approach. The importance of accounting for all degrees of freedom of the chain…

Chain collapse of star polymers

The self-consistent approach to free-energy optimization is applied to regular star polymers in bad solvents (T < Θ); the Gaussian approximation and the Zimm-Kilb description of Fourier modes are…
