Physical aging in polymer glasses.
نویسنده
چکیده
Physical aging refers to structural relaxation of the glassy state toward the metastable equilibrium amorphous state, and it is accompanied by changes in almost all physical properties. These changes, which must be taken into account in the design, manufacture, and use of glassy polymer materials and devices, present a daunting challenge to theorists.

Simulations of aging and plastic deformation in polymer glasses.
We study the effect of physical aging on the mechanical properties of a model polymer glass using molecular dynamics simulations. The creep compliance is determined simultaneously with the structural relaxation under a constant uniaxial load below yield at constant temperature. The model successfully captures universal features found experimentally in polymer glasses, including signatures of me...
متن کاملTemperature cycling during the aging of a polymer glass
– Temperature cycling is used to study aging properties of plexiglass (PMMA) dielectric constant. If a negative temperature cycle is applied during the aging time the relaxation dynamics is just delayed for a time equal to the cycle period. In contrast this time shifting procedure cannot be applied to positive temperature cycles. The analogies and differences with similar experiments done in ot...
متن کاملRheological aging and rejuvenation in solid friction contacts.
We study the low-velocity (0.1-100 microm s(-1)) frictional properties of interfaces between a rough glassy polymer and smooth silanized glass, a configuration which gives direct access to the rheology of the adhesive joints in which shear localizes. We show that these joints exhibit the full phenomenology expected for confined quasi-2D soft glasses: they strengthen logarithmically when aging a...
متن کاملComparative review of aging properties in spin glasses and other disordered materials
Aging phenomena have been studied in very different materials like polymers, supercooled liquids or disordered orientational crystals. We recall here the main features of aging in spin glasses, and use this example of magnetic systems as a guideline for the description of the others. A particular attention is put on the sensitivity of aging to the cooling rate and to temperature variations. Thi...
متن کاملJamming creep of a frictional interface.
We measure the displacement response of a frictional multicontact interface between identical polymer glasses to a biased shear force oscillation. We evidence the existence, for maximum forces close below the nominal static threshold, of a jamming creep regime governed by an aging-rejuvenation competition acting within the micrometer-sized contacting asperities. The time dependence of the creep...
