Entangled polymer systems
Topological constraints, referred to as entanglements in the literature, dominate the viscoelastic behavior of high molecular weight polymeric liquids. To give a microscopic foundation of the phenomenological tube models which successfully describe this behavior, we have recently introduced a method for identifying the so-called primitive path mesh that characterizes the microscopic topological...
متن کاملEntangled dynamics of a stiff polymer.
Entangled networks of stiff biopolymers exhibit complex dynamic response, emerging from the topological constraints that neighboring filaments impose upon each other. We propose a class of reference models for entanglement dynamics of stiff polymers and provide a quantitative foundation of the tube concept for stiff polymers. For an infinitely thin needle exploring a planar course of point obst...
متن کاملElasticity of entangled networks
The classical theory of rubber elasticity t contains an unrealistic assumption. It assumes that the polymer chains move through each other as 'phantoms' held only by crosslinks, and that the whole system is prevented from collapsing by the assumption of repulsive forces which generate a bulk modulus but are otherwise ignored. The neglect of repulsive effects in calculating the shear elasticity ...
متن کاملStress relaxation in entangled polymer melts.
We present an extensive set of simulation results for the stress relaxation in equilibrium and step-strained bead-spring polymer melts. The data allow us to explore the chain dynamics and the shear relaxation modulus, G(t), into the plateau regime for chains with Z=40 entanglements and into the terminal relaxation regime for Z=10. Using the known (Rouse) mobility of unentangled chains and the m...
متن کاملForce–extension relation of cross-linked anisotropic polymer networks
Cross-linked polymer networks with orientational order constitute a wide class of soft materials and are relevant to biological systems (e.g., F-actin bundles). We analytically study the nonlinear force–extension relation of an array of parallel-aligned, strongly stretched semiflexible polymers with random cross-links. In the strong stretching limit, the effect of the cross-links is purely entr...
