Local Chain Ordering in Amorphous Polymer Melts: Innuence of Chain Stiiness
نویسندگان
چکیده
Molecular dynamics simulation of a generic polymer model is applied to study melts of polymers with diierent types of intrinsic stiiness. Important static observables of the single chain such as gyration radius or persistence length are determined. Additionally we investigate the overall static melt structure including pair correlation function, structure function and orientational correlation function.

متن کاملOrientation Correlation in Simplified Models of Polymer Melts
We investigate mutual local chain order in systems of fully flexible polymer melts in a simple generic bead-spring model. The excluded-volume interaction together with the connectivity leads to local ordering effects which are independent of chain length between 25 and 700 monomers, i.e. in the Rouse as well as in the reptation regime. These ordering phenomena extend to a distance of about 3 to...
متن کاملLocal Reorientation Dynamics of Semiflexible Polymers in the Melt
The reorientation dynamics of local tangent vectors of chains in isotropic amorphous melts containing semiflexible model polymers was studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The reorientation is strongly influenced both by the local chain stiffness and by the overall chain length. It takes place by two different subsequent processes: A shorttime non-exponential decay and a long-time exponent...
متن کاملChain Deformation for a Polymer Melt under Shear
We used a Couette cell placed within an NMR microscopy apparatus to examine molecular alignment in polydimethylsiloxane melts under shear. 1H dipolar interactions are used to examine main chain ordering while 2H NMR quadrupole splittings are measured in a deuterated oligomer probe, in each case selectively observing different alignment orientations with respect to the flow field. While the main...
