Concentration Fluctuations in a Polymer Solution under a Temperature Gradient
We have performed small-angle Rayleigh light-scattering measurements in polymer solutions under various externally applied temperature gradients. Our experiments confirm the existence of an enhancement of the concentration fluctuations. The nonequilibrium concentration fluctuations are proportional to s=Td2yk4, where =T is the applied temperature gradient, and k is the wave number of the fluctu...
متن کاملBIOPOLY MERS Irreversible Thermodynamic Analysis of Electrophoretic Light Scattering Experiments
A fluctuation theory for electrolyte solutions is developed based on the coupling between the equations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics and the Poisson equation. The resulting fluctuation theory is applied to the analysis of electrophoretic light scattering. It is shown that in a binary electrolyte solution (two ionic species), the Doppler shift is not determined by the electrical mobility of ...
متن کاملSlip, concentration fluctuations and flow instability in sheared polymer solutions
Recent experiments suggest that shear-enhanced growth of concentration fluctuations in polymer solutions is strongly influenced by solid boundaries. We analyze the dynamics of a model of a sheared polymer solution, accounting for the effect of stress variations on mass flux and for wall-slip. If (and only if) these effects are present, the flow exhibits a boundary-localized instability consiste...
متن کاملStructure Evolution of a Polymer Solution at High Shear Rates
We utilized large angle light scattering to study the structure of a sheared semidilute polymer solution. Below a critical shear rate γ̆c we observe an enhancement of concentration fluctuations in accordance with previous experimental and theoretical work. Above γ̆c we find dramatic changes in the transient and steady state scattering behavior which indicate a shear-induced phase separation. A ne...
متن کاملInteraction of cylindrical polymer brushes in dilute and semi-dilute solution
We present a systematic study of flexible cylindrical brush-shaped macromolecules in a good solvent by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), static light scattering (SLS), and by dynamic light scattering (DLS) in dilute and semi-dilute solution. The SLS and SANS data extrapolated to infinite dilution lead to the shape of the polymer that can be modeled in terms of a worm-like chain with a cont...
