Conjugated polymer liquid crystal solutions: control of conformation and alignment.
Stable solutions of conjugated poly(phenylene vinylene)s and poly(phenylene ethynylene)s in nematic liquid crystals are reported. The polymers all contain triptycene units fused into their backbones to obtain the high solubility needed to maintain solubility in complex liquid crystalline media. The polymer backbones align with the director of the nematic liquid crystal, and by applying electric...

متن کاملNonaffine rubber elasticity for stiff polymer networks.
We present a theory for the elasticity of cross-linked stiff polymer networks. Stiff polymers, unlike their flexible counterparts, are highly anisotropic elastic objects. Similar to mechanical beams, stiff polymers easily deform in bending, while they are much stiffer with respect to tensile forces ("stretching"). Unlike in previous approaches, where network elasticity is derived from the stret...
متن کاملPolymer Conformation under Confinement
The conformation of polymer chains under confinement is investigated in intercalated polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites. Hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide)/sodium montmorillonite, PEO/Na+-MMT, hybrids were prepared utilizing melt intercalation with compositions where the polymer chains are mostly within the ~1 nm galleries of the inorganic material. The polymer chains are completely amorphou...
متن کاملOn the Elasticity of Stiff Polymer Networks
The mechanical properties of cytoskeletal actin bundles play an essential role in numerous physiological processes including hearing, fertilization, cell migration and growth. Cells employ a multitude of actin-binding proteins to regulate actively bundle dimensions and crosslinking properties to suit biological function. The mechanical properties of actin bundles vary by orders of magnitude dep...
