Abstract
Polymers of arbitrary fractal connectivity are considered. A Flory theory of chain swelling, with an -body repulsion, gives a lower critical dimension equal to the spectral dimension, , for any polymeric fractal with . The scaling form of the frequency-dependent complex viscosity of a monodisperse solution of polymeric fractals (at low or high concentration) is given in the absence of excluded-volume and entanglement effects.
