The influence of spacer chains on the intramolecular complexation in star-shaped heteroarm (miktoarm) polymers is investigated. To overcome the mutual attraction of different polymeric components present in a miktoarm star with different homopolymeric arms, spacer chains of different length are attached to the core of the star at three different positions. In most of the investigated cases, this leads to diblock copolymer arms within the miktoarm star. Hereby, the inner spacer separates the outer blocks from their attractively interacting homopolymeric arms. The effect on the intramolecular complexation and the structure of the star polymer is obtained by Monte Carlo simulations of a simple bead-spring model. Then, long spacers can completely prevent the complexation. Both, local shielding by the spacer chains and the increased distance between the complex-forming polymers due to the spacer chains inhibit the complex formation. For a range of spacer positions and lengths, an equilibrium between a system forming a complex and a complex free system is found. The spacer chains can be used as a tool to tune the intramolecular complexation.
