Theoretical Calculation of Diffusion Coefficient and Viscosity of Star Polymers in Solution

  • Chapter
Integration of Fundamental Polymer Science and Technology

Synopsis

Numerical calculations for dimensions and hydrodynamic properties of star-like chains are performed, considering a model with intramolecular potential and avoiding preaveraging in the hydrodynamic treatment. A good agreement is found in the comparison of theoretical results with existing experimental data.
