Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjp0dss0w" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />Compared to three-arm star polystyrene (S3PS), the melt viscosity of S3PS–Fe₃O₄ composites reduces (white area) or increases (yellow area), which strongly depends on the arm molecular weight of S3PS (<italic>M</italic>_a), the radius of gyration of SPS (<italic>R</italic>_g) and the size of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (<italic>R</italic>_p).</p> </abstract>
