Non-Affine Shear Modulus in Entangled Networks of Semiflexible Polymers
We investigate the viscoelastic properties of entangled networks of semiflexible polymers. At intermediate time scales the elastic response of these networks to shear deformation is described by the plateau modulus G. Different scaling laws with polymer concentration c have been proposed based on the assumption that the deformation field is affine on all length scales. We develop a numerical ap...
متن کاملRelaxation of entangled polymers at the classical gel point
2014 We examine the relaxation behaviour of an entangled cross-linked polymer gel as it approaches the gel point in mean field (Flory-Stockmayer) percolation. The calculation is based on a tube model for the topological interactions in which stress is lost via hierarchical fluctuation of the primitive paths between cross-links. The decay time of a segment is calculated via a recursion relation ...
متن کاملUnexpected power-law stress relaxation of entangled ring polymers.
After many years of intense research, most aspects of the motion of entangled polymers have been understood. Long linear and branched polymers have a characteristic entanglement plateau and their stress relaxes by chain reptation or branch retraction, respectively. In both mechanisms, the presence of chain ends is essential. But how do entangled polymers without ends relax their stress? Using p...
متن کاملStress relaxation in entangled melts of unlinked ring polymers.
Stress relaxation in unlinked ring polymer melts poses an important challenge to our theoretical understanding of entangled polymer dynamics. Recent experiments on entangled unlinked ring melts show power-law stress relaxation with no hint of a rubbery plateau, usually the hallmark of entangled polymers. Here we present a theory for stress relaxation in rings analogous to the successful approac...
متن کاملOn the Dynamic Characteristic of Thermoelastic Waves in Thermoelastic Plates with Thermal Relaxation Times
In this paper, analysis for the propagation of general anisotropic media of finite thickness with two thermal relaxation times is studied. Expression of displacements, temperature, thermal stresses, and thermal gradient for most general anisotropic thermoelastic plates of finite thickness are obtained in the analysis. The calculation is then carried forward for slightly more specialized case of...
