Local chain ordering in amorphous polymer melts: Influence of chain stiffness
نویسندگان
چکیده
Molecular dynamics simulation of a generic polymer model is applied to study melts of polymers with different types of intrinsic stiffness. 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 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 کاملLattice model of linear telechelic polymer melts. II. Influence of chain stiffness on basic thermodynamic properties.
The lattice cluster theory (LCT) for semiflexible linear telechelic melts, developed in Paper I, is applied to examine the influence of chain stiffness on the average degree of self-assembly and the basic thermodynamic properties of linear telechelic polymer melts. Our calculations imply that chain stiffness promotes self-assembly of linear telechelic polymer melts that assemble on cooling when...
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...
