Deviations from chain ideality : are they detectable in simulations and neutron scattering of polyisobutylene ?

The Flory ideality hypothesis states that flexible polymer chains in a melt assume the shape of three-dimensional random walks leading to so called Gaussian coils. The basis of this hypothesis is that any local conformational information decays exponentially along the chain backbone and thus has no...
