Notes:
An approach to the kinetic theory of a dilute solution of bead-spring rings with hydrodynamic interaction is outlined. When the cyclic symmetry of the ring is exploited, the analysis of Hookean-spring rings is greatly simplified. Exact expressions for the time constants of a Hookean-spring ring with an arbitrary number of beads are obtained. The only effect of ring closure is to alter the spectrum of time constants. The form of the constitutive equation for a dilute solution of rings is the same as that for a dilute solution of Rouse chains. The results of Wiest et al. for Hookean-spring rings without hydrodynamic interaction, which were obtained by using a different approach, are recovered as a special case.
