Density-correlator signatures of the vulcanization transition
Certain density correlators, measurable via various experimental techniques, are studied in the context of the vulcanization transition. It is shown that these correlators contain essential information about both the vulcanization transition and the emergent amorphous solid state. Contact is made with various physical ingredients that have featured in experimental studies of amorphous colloidal...
متن کاملConnecting the vulcanization transition to percolation.
The vulcanization transition is addressed via a minimal replica-field-theoretic model. The appropriate long-wavelength behavior of the two- and three-point vertex functions is considered diagrammatically, to all orders in perturbation theory, and identified with the corresponding quantities in the Houghton-Reeve-Wallace field-theoretic approach to the percolation critical phenomenon. Hence, it ...
متن کاملEmergent Physics at the Vulcanization Transition
The Essay starts with an overview of the percolation approach and classical elasticity theory of the vulcanization transition of rubber, describing their assumptions and their limitations. Thereafter we discuss a third approach, the Vulcanization Theory (VT) which incorporates the effects of thermal fluctuations and quenched random disorder. The VT is an order parameter theory in the true Landa...
متن کاملRenormalization-group approach to the vulcanization transition
The vulcanization transition-the cross-link-density-controlled equilibrium phase transition from the liquid to the amorphous solid state-is explored analytically from a renormalization-group perspective. The analysis centers on a minimal model which has previously been shown to yield a rich and informative picture of vulcanized matter at the mean-field level, including a connection with mean-fi...
متن کاملDynamical and structural signatures of the glass transition in emulsions
We investigate structural and dynamical properties of moderately polydisperse emulsions across an extended range of droplet volume fractions φ, encompassing fluid and glassy states up to jamming. Combining experiments and simulations, we show that when φ approaches the glass transition volume fraction g φ , dynamical heterogeneities and amorphous order arise within the emulsion. In particular, ...
