A theory is presented of the dynamics of a solution of flexible chain macromolecules of arbitrary self-similar connectivity (« polymeric fractals »). The methods used are a Kirkwood approximation/effective medium theory of hydrodynamics, and a scaling theory of fractal correlations based on the idea of the spectral dimension. The resulting relaxation spectra at high and low concentrations are the generalizations (to the case of arbitrary polymeric fractals) of the well-known Rouse-like and Zimm-like spectra for linear polymers. The effective medium theory is extended to include an approximate dynamical description of excluded volume effects (but not entanglements) and also to account for polydispersity. In the presence of a power-law mass d...
