C. Ioan et al., THE INFLUENCE OF BRANCHING ON INTERMOLECULAR AND INTRAMOLECULAR INTERACTION PARAMETERS OF POLYMER-SOLVENT SYSTEMS, Pure and applied chemistry, A32(8-9), 1995, pp. 1589-1600
The influence of branching on inter- and intramolecular interaction pa
rameters-as defined by Wolf for linear polymers-is discussed for starl
ike polystyrene and polybutadiene in good solvents. The paper proposes
a method of evaluation of the interaction parameters for branched pol
ymers starting from experimental data on A(2) and [eta] for linear cha
ins and from the theoretical ratios A(2,branched)/A(2,linear) and [eta
](branched)/[eta](linear).
