Abstract
A general formalism for the dynamic scattering properties of cyclic po lymers in good solvent conditions is presented. Single-chain dynamics are investigated in the framework of the Oseen tensor model with and w ithout the preaveraging approximation. The chain swelling due to exclu ded volume interactions is introduced by a renormalization of the inte rnal chain statistics of cyclic polymers. The relaxations of the conce ntration fluctuations are also described for both ring homopolymers an d copolymers. (C) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
