Some conformational and dynamical aspects of branched polymer are reviewed. We discuss the theoretical Gaussian Self-Consistent (GSC) approach proposed in our group and used to study the behaviour of regular star polymers ...

Theoretical evidence is presented in this review that architectural aspects can play an important role, not only in the bulk but also in confined geometries by using our recursive lattice theory, which is equally applicable ...

An introduction is given to the crossover theory of the conformational and thermodynamic properties of star polymers in good solvents. The crossover theory is tested against Monte Carlo simulation data for the structure and ...

A simulation study of star-branched molecules with 3 arms was performed in a space confined between two parallel repulsive walls, which were at the distance d apart. The simulations were performed for chains on a ...
