Determining Microscopic Viscoelasticity in Flexible and Semiflexible Polymer Networks from Thermal Fluctuations
We have developed a new technique to measure viscoelasticity in soft materials such as polymer solutions, by monitoring thermal fluctuations of embedded probe particles using laser interferometry in a microscope. Interferometry allows us to obtain power spectra of fluctuating beads from 0.1 Hz to 20 kHz, and with subnanometer spatial resolution. Using linear response theory, we determined the f...
متن کاملFeasibility of Crosslinked Acrylic Shape Memory Polymer for a Thrombectomy Device
PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility of utilizing a system of SMP acrylates for a thrombectomy device by determining an optimal crosslink density that provides both adequate recovery stress for blood clot removal and sufficient strain capacity to enable catheter delivery. METHODS Four thermoset acrylic copolymers containing benzylmethacrylate (BzMA) and bisphenol A ethoxylate diacrylate (Mn~51...
متن کاملShape-Memory Polymer Composites
The development of shape-memory polymer composites (SMPCs) enables high recovery stress levels as well as novel functions such as electrical conductivity, magnetism, and biofunctionality. In this review chapter the substantial enhancement in mechanical properties of shape-memory polymers (SMPs) by incorporating small amounts of stiff fillers will be highlighted exemplarily for clay and polyhedr...
متن کاملLinear viscoelasticity of a single semiflexible polymer with internal friction.
The linear viscoelastic behaviors of single semiflexible chains with internal friction are studied based on the wormlike-chain model. It is shown that the frequency dependence of the complex compliance in the high frequency limit is the same as that of the Voigt model. This asymptotic behavior appears also for the Rouse model with internal friction. We derive the characteristic times for both t...
متن کاملQuantifying primary loops in polymer gels by linear viscoelasticity.
In polymeric gels, basically two species of cross-links exist: those contributing to the network and those that don’t. Zhou et al. (1) suggested network disassembly spectrometry to determine the content of loops— the simplest kind of network defects in gels. Although cross-links contributing to the network hold the gel together and are thus desirable, the noncontributing links (e.g., the loops ...
