Brownian dynamics study of mixed linear-hyperbranched polymers
Brownian dynamics simulations have been performed on a variety of mixed linear-branched molecules. The rheological properties of three different constant molecular weight systems, with varying ratios of linear segments to branch points, are reported. The transition from perfectly branched behavior (low viscosity) to linear-chain-like behavior (high viscosity) is found to occur at a mole fraction of linear segments of 0.8.
