STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF IRREGULAR MULTIARM STAR POLYMERS

Melt properties of highly branched star polymers consisting of a 1,2-polybutadiene core and nearly 270 arms of 1,4-polybutadiene with varying sizes have been investigated using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and dynamic rheological measurements in the linear viscoelastic limit. Despite their di...
