Branched Polymers with Excluded Volume Effects/ Configurations of Comb Polymers in Two- and Three-dimensions

We investigate the excluded volume effects in good solvents for the isolated comb polymers having \(\nu_{0}=1/4\). In particular, we investigate the change of the size exponent, \(\nu\), defined by \(\langle s_{N}^{2}\rangle\propto N^{2\nu}\), for the various fully-expanded configurations. The resul...

Description
Summary:We investigate the excluded volume effects in good solvents for the isolated comb polymers having \(\nu_{0}=1/4\). In particular, we investigate the change of the size exponent, \(\nu\), defined by \(\langle s_{N}^{2}\rangle\propto N^{2\nu}\), for the various fully-expanded configurations. The results show that, given the fully stretched backbone and side chains, the exponent takes the value, \(\nu=1/2\), irrespective of the configurational isomerization of side chains; only the pre-exponential factor changes.
