The results of this reference when coupled with those of ref 29 show that the 0 condition Rv(Rv)α ratios for polystyrene stars are independent of temperature over the range from 10 to 70 °C. (b) See, for example: Kunz, D.; Thurn, A.; Burchard, W. Polym. Coll. Sci. 1983, 261, 635. These authors found that RH/RGwas larger than the hard-sphere value for microgel particles but smaller for casein aggregates.
