Many relations between the physical, rheological or mechanical properties of linear polymers and their molar mass are well known. For disperse polymers, parameters that express these relations are typically related to (a combination of) the moments of the molar‐mass distribution. Properties of branched, nonlinear polymers have been far more difficult to describe in the form of general relations. Monodisperse star polymers or regular stars, with a distinct number of arms and equal arm length, are the simplest member of the family of branched polymers and have served as model compounds in many studies. For these regular stars, the relation between zero shear viscosity and arm or span length has been determined. To establish equivalent relations for disperse star‐branched polymers, it is important to assess the span‐length distribution and its moments; these parameters can be calculated when the distribution of the molar mass of the arms of a star‐branched polymer is known, for instance, for a known polymerization mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
