Abstract

The effects of chain length and molecular architecture on the second virial coefficient of branched polymer chains has been studied using a perturbation analysis. It is found that the deviation from the infinite chain length asymptote increases as the degree of branching increases for chains having less than about 100 statistical segments. A semi-empirical equation is proposed for higher values of the interaction parameter, z.
