How does sequence length heterogeneity affect the dilute solution conformation of copolymers?

Sequence length heterogeneity (SLH) is defined as the change, as a function of copolymer molar mass (M), in the average number of continuous monomers of a given repeat unit. SLH can influence polymeric properties such as thermal stability, mechanical behavior, transparency, and the ability of copolymers to reduce interfacial surface tension. Here, we demonstrate the relation between SLH and the change as a function of molar mass of a...
