Triplet interactions in star polymer solutions
We analyze the effective triplet interactions between the centers of star polymers in a good solvent. Using an analytical short-distance expansion inspired by scaling theory, we deduce that the triplet part of the three-star force is attractive but only 11% of the pairwise part even for a close approach of three star polymers. We have also performed extensive computer simulations for different ...
متن کامل0 Polydisperse star polymer solutions
We analyze the effect of polydispersity in the arm number on the effective interactions , structural correlations and the phase behavior of star polymers in a good solvent. The effective interaction potential between two star polymers with different arm numbers is derived using scaling theory. The resulting expression is tested against monomer-resolved molecular dynamics simulations. We find th...
متن کاملStructural arrest in dense star-polymer solutions.
The dynamics of star polymers is investigated via extensive molecular and Brownian dynamics simulations for a large range of functionality f and packing fraction eta. The calculated isodiffusivity curves display both minima and maxima as a function of eta and minima as a function of f. Simulation results are compared with theoretical predictions based on different approximations for the structu...

متن کاملAnomalous structure factor of dense star polymer solutions
The core-core structure factor of dense star polymer solutions in a good solvent is shown theoretically to exhibit an unusual behaviour above the overlap concentration. Unlike usual liquids, these solutions display a structure factor whose first peak decreases by increasing density while the second peak grows. The scenario repeats itself with the subsequent peaks as the density is further enhan...
