Form factors of comb polymers — •Christian von Ferber1, Marvin Bishop2, Thomas Forzaglia2, and Cooper Reid2 — 1Applied Mathematics Research Centre, Coventry University, UK — 2Manhattan College, Riverdale, New York, USA
We employ analytical methods and the Monte Carlo Pivot algorithm to investigate continuum, tangent hard-sphere comb polymers both in the ideal and excluded volume regimes.
The mean square radius of gyration, the g-ratio, and the form factors are evaluated. We find that the extrapolated MC g-ratios are in excellent agreement with the theory in the ideal regime. The MC data agree well with the exact form factors. The form factors reveal the influence of the polymer structure at short distances.
