Scaling of star polymers: high order results

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We extend existing renormalization group calculations for the exponents describing scaling of star polymers and polymer networks constituted by chains of different species (the so-called copolymer star exponents). Our four loop results find application in the description of various phenomena involving self-avoiding and random walks that interact.
