The Shape of a Stretched Polymer
The shape of a polymer plays an important role in determining its interactions with other molecules and with the environment, and is in turn affected by both of them. As a consequence, in the literature the shape properties of a chain in many different conditions have been investigated. Here, we characterize the shape and orientational properties of a polymer chain under tension, a physical con...
متن کاملStretched polymer nanohairs by nanodrawing.
A simple, yet innovative, method is presented for fabricating high-aspect-ratio polymer nanohairs (aspect ratio >20) on a solid substrate by sequential application of molding and drawing of a thin polymer film. The polymer film was prepared by spin coating on a rigid or flexible substrate, and the temperature was raised above the polymer's glass transition while in conformal contact with a poly...
متن کاملExcluded Volume Effects and Stretched Polymer Chains
The renormalized elasticity Jheory for jsolated flexible polymers developed recently by de Gennes is extended to the case of strong elongation ( Z / R F >> 1,Z is the average end-to-end length in response to a uniform tension and R F is the excluded volume Flory radius !fa free coil). I t is shown that, in this regime, the elastic restoring force f is nonlinear in the distortion and varies as Z...
متن کاملShape instability on swelling of a stretched nematic elastomer filament.
Liquid crystalline elastomers combine the ordering properties of liquid crystals with elasticity of crosslinked polymer networks. In monodomain (permanently aligned) elastomers, altering the orientational (nematic) order causes changes in the equilibrium sample length, which is the basis of the famous effect of large-amplitude reversible mechanical actuation. The stimulus for this effect could ...
متن کاملTopological derivation of shape exponents for stretched exponential relaxation.
In homogeneous (ideal) glasses, the important dimensionless stretched-exponential shape parameter beta is described by magic (not adjusted) simple fractions derived from fractal configuration spaces of effective dimension d* determined by different topological axioms (rules) in the presence (absence) of a forcing electric field. The rules are based on a new central principle for defining glassy...
