CROSS-LINK EFFECTS ON EQUILIBRIUM POLYMERS

We study the effects of three- and fourfold crosslinks on wormlike mic elles. This model is worked using a correspondence between magnetic mo dels and equilibrium polymers. We obtain the phase diagrams and the cr itical behavior of the concentration of extremities and of crosslinks. These crosslinks generate a demixing for both three- and fourfold con nections. We show that, due to the difference of parity between the th ree- and fourfold connections, the behavior is quite different for eac h case.
