Dynamics of asymmetric star polymers under coarse grain simulations

Abstract: The asymmetric star polymers are studied by coarse grain simulations. Each polymer chain is represented by number of consecutive soft blobs and additional uncrossability constraints are added to prevent chain crossings. In this work two types of asymmetric star polymers with different backbone lengths are structured. Their dynamical properties are discussed by comparisons with corresponding linear chains, the one covers chain length along with the asymmetric arm through the branch point to one of the symmetric arm, or the backbone chain between two symmetric arm ends, or the largest linear possesses the same molecular weight of the entire star. To reveal the influence of the asymmetric arm length on their relaxation decay times, the autocorrelation function of the vectors from each branching point to corresponding asymmetric arm end are calculated, results are compared with the symmetric star having the same backbone chain.
