Numerical calculation of intrinsic viscosity of star and ring polymers using a modified Zimm model.

In this study, the effect of structures of different polymers, i.e., ring and symmetrical star (with 3-6 arms), in a dilute solution (theta solvent) on their viscoelastic properties was theoretically investigated using a modified Zimm model. The shea…
