Effects of Relative Rigidities of Backbone and Arms on Conformational and Dynamical Characteristics of Branched Ring Polymer in Shear Flow

Abstract We investigate how the relative rigidities of the backbone and arms influence the conformational and dynamical properties of branched ring polymers (BRPs) under steady shear flow, using a hybrid mesoscale simulation approach that combines multiparticle collision dynamics...
