Absolute value of the elastic plateau modulus of semi exiblepolymer

چکیده
We calculate the storage modulus of a solution of semiiexible polymers in the plateau regime using a tube model that takes the eeect of nite polymer length into account. For experimentally relevant parameters the result shows the previously obtained scaling behavior. Our calculation allows a prediction for the absolute value of the modulus which is found to be in good agreement with recent rheological measurements on F-actin solutions.

Semi Analytical Analysis of FGM Thick-Walled Cylindrical Pressure Vessel with Longitudinal Variation of Elastic Modulus under Internal Pressure
In this paper, a numerical analysis of stresses and displacements in FGM thick-walled cylindrical pressure vessel under internal pressure has been presented. The elastic modulus is assumed to be varying along the longitude of the pressure vessel with an exponential function continuously. The Poisson’s ratio is assumed to be constant. Whereas most of the previous studies about FGM thick-walled p...
متن کاملS.A.N.S. Spectra and Elastic Plateau Modulus in a Charged Wormlike Micelles Solution: Effect of Salt
We present S-A-N-Sand elastic plateau modulus data obtained from semi-dilute wormlike micellar solutions, with small amounts of salt added. The spectra of these solutions are reminiscent of polyelectrolyte send-dilute solutions. The plateau modulus, which is related to the correlation length of the fluctuations in strain, is increased by the addition ofsalt. The primary result is that the elect...
متن کاملInternal Dynamics and Elasticity of Fractal Colloidal Gels
The dynamic structure factor of fractal colloidal gels is shown to exhibit a stretched exponential decay to a finite plateau with an exponent of about 0.7. The value of the plateau depends on both initial particle volume fraction f0 and scattering wave vector. We show that this behavior results from the contribution of internal elastic modes of many length scales, and present a model which acco...
