چکیده
We report a computer simulation study of the influence of topological constraints on the statics and dynamics of single ring polymers and ring polymers in the melt. We show that single rings have identical static and dynamic scaling behavior regardless of the presence of topological constraints. For rings in the melt we find that the scaling behavior is significantly influenced by the presence of topological constraints.

On two intrinsic length scales in polymer physics : topological constraints vs . entanglement length
– The interplay of topological constraints, excluded volume interactions, persistence length and dynamical entanglement length in solutions and melts of linear chains and ring polymers is investigated by means of kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of a three dimensional lattice model. In unknotted and unconcatenated rings, topological constraints manifest themselves in the static properties above ...
متن کاملTopological Constraints in Directed Polymer Melts.
Polymers in a melt may be subject to topological constraints, as in the example of unlinked polymer rings. How to do statistical mechanics in the presence of such constraints remains a fundamental open problem. We study the effect of topological constraints on a melt of directed polymers, using simulations of a simple quasi-2D model. We find that fixing the global topology of the melt to be tri...
متن کاملStudy of Stone-wales Defect on Elastic Properties of Single-layer Graphene Sheets by an Atomistic based Finite Element Model
In this paper, an atomistic based finite element model is developed to investigate the influence of topological defects on mechanical properties of graphene. The general in-plane stiffness matrix of the hexagonal network structure of graphene is found. Effective elastic modulus of a carbon ring is determined from the equivalence of molecular potential energy related to stretch and angular defor...
متن کاملAn introduction to topological hyperrings
In this paper, we define topological hyperrings and study their basic concepts which supported by illustrative examples. We show some differences between topological rings and topological hyperrings. Also, by the fundamental relation $\Gamma^{*}$, we indicate the role of complete parts (saturated subsets) and complete hyperrings in topological hyperrings and specially we show that if every (clo...
متن کاملGeometrical complexity of conformations of ring polymers under topological constraints.
One measure of geometrical complexity of a spatial curve is the average of the number of crossings appearing in its planar projection. The mean number of crossings averaged over some directions have been numerically evaluated for N-noded ring polymers with a fixed knot type. When N is large, the average crossing number of ring polymers under the topological constraint is smaller than that of no...
