Influence of intermolecular interaction on the dynamics of good solvent-polymer solutions
A formalism to study the collective dynamics of good solvent-polymer solutions is presented. The approach takes into account both intramolecular and intermolecular interaction as well as hydrodynamic interaction. Using input from a generalized Ornstein-Zernike equation, a Langevin equation for the dynamic structure factor is solved. Good agreement with experimental data is found.
