Effect of volume changes on segmental relaxation in siloxane polymers.
From dielectric relaxation and equation-of-state measurements on polymethylphenylsiloxane and polymethyltolylsiloxane, the relative contributions of volume and thermal energy to the temperature dependence of the segmental relaxation times are quantified. In both polymers, volume exerts a substantial effect, being almost as significant as thermal energy. A possible consequence of this prominent ...
متن کاملExploiting Relaxation in Local Search
Branch-and-bound uses relaxation to prune search trees but sometimes scales poorly to large problems. Conversely, local search often scales well but may be unable to find optimal solutions, perhaps because it does not exploit relaxation. Both phenomena occur in the construction of low-autocorrelation binary sequences, a problem arising in communication engineering. This paper proposes a hybrid ...
متن کاملControlling nanowear in a polymer by confining segmental relaxation.
Molecular relaxation of a copolymer designed for nano-electromechanical systems was chemically confined by varying the spacing between cross-links, delta(c). A critical cross-link spacing of 1-3 nm marks a transition in the nano-mechanical properties evaluated by atomic force microscopy. The transition reveals an interplay between the cross-link spacing and the length scale for backbone relaxat...
متن کاملDissolution behavior of fluoroalcohol substituted polystyrenes
α-Fluoroalcohols have been proposed as transparent, base-soluble functional groups for use in the design of new 157 nm photoresist polymers. The two most common and easily prepared fluoroisopropanol groups are bis-trifluoromethyl carbinols (hexafluoroalcohol) and methyl-trifluoromethyl carbinols (trifluoroalcohol). This paper describes studies designed to assess the suitability of both of these...
متن کاملSegmental relaxation in semicrystalline polymers: a mean-field model for the distribution of relaxation times in confined regimes.
The effect of confinement in the segmental relaxation of polymers is considered. On the basis of a thermodynamic model we discuss the emerging relevance of the fast degrees of freedom in stimulating the much slower segmental relaxation, as an effect of the constraints at the walls of the amorphous regions. In the case that confinement is due to the presence of crystalline domains, a quasi-Poiss...
