Normal stresses at the gelation transition.
A simple Rouse-type model, generalized to incorporate the effects of chemical cross-links, is used to obtain a theoretical prediction for the critical behavior of the normal-stress coefficients Psi(1) and Psi(2) in polymeric liquids when approaching the gelation transition from the sol side. While the exact calculation shows Psi(2) identical with 0, a typical result for these types of models, a...
متن کاملGlasslike kinetic arrest at the colloidal-gelation transition.
We show that gelation of weakly attractive colloids is remarkably similar to the colloidal glass transition. Like the glass transition, dynamic light scattering functions near gelation scale with scattering vector, and exhibits a two-step decay with a power-law divergence of the final decay time. Like the glass transition, static light scattering does not change upon gelation. These results sug...
متن کاملGelation Transition and Percolation
transition in melts. Although polymeric systems’ technological applications in many different fields have received increasing researcher interest, their nontrivial viscoelastic behavior still doesn’t have a completely satisfying description. Of particular interest is the sol-gel transition, in which a viscous fluid (the sol) transforms into an elastic disordered solid (the gel) by creating in t...
متن کاملCan Smoluchowski equation account for gelation transition?
We revisit the scaling theory of the Smoluchowski equation with special emphasis on the dimensional analysis to derive the scaling ansatz and to give an insightful foundation to it. It has long been argued that the homogeneity exponent λ of the aggregation kernel divides the aggregation process into two regimes (i) λ ≤ 1 nongelling and (ii) λ > 1 gelling. However, our findings contradict with t...
متن کاملNormal stresses in elastic networks.
When loaded in simple shear deformation, polymeric materials may develop so-called normal stresses: stresses perpendicular to the direction of the applied shear. These normal stresses are intrinsically nonlinear: basic symmetry considerations dictate they may only enter at O(γ(2)), with γ the dimensionless shear strain. There is no fundamental restriction on their sign, and normal stresses may ...
