Notes:
We investigate the effect of shear and uniaxial extensional flows on the rate of the cyclization reaction in polymers. We find that for such an intramolecular diffusion-controlled reaction the flow always reduces the reaction rate, in contrast to the previously studied case of intermolecular reactions, where linear flows enhance the reaction rate.
