Nanoparticle Motion in Entangled Melts of Linear and Nonconcatenated Ring Polymers
The motion of nanoparticles (NPs) in entangled melts of linear polymers and nonconcatenated ring polymers are compared by large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. The comparison provides a paradigm for the effects of polymer architecture on the dynamical coupling between NPs and polymers in nanocomposites. Strongly suppressed motion of NPs with diameter d larger than the entanglement spacing...
متن کاملStress relaxation in entangled melts of unlinked ring polymers.
Stress relaxation in unlinked ring polymer melts poses an important challenge to our theoretical understanding of entangled polymer dynamics. Recent experiments on entangled unlinked ring melts show power-law stress relaxation with no hint of a rubbery plateau, usually the hallmark of entangled polymers. Here we present a theory for stress relaxation in rings analogous to the successful approac...
متن کاملUnexpected power-law stress relaxation of entangled ring polymers.
After many years of intense research, most aspects of the motion of entangled polymers have been understood. Long linear and branched polymers have a characteristic entanglement plateau and their stress relaxes by chain reptation or branch retraction, respectively. In both mechanisms, the presence of chain ends is essential. But how do entangled polymers without ends relax their stress? Using p...
متن کاملMicrostructure of Sheared Entangled Solutions of Semiflexible Polymers
We study the influence of finite shear deformations on the microstructure and rheology of solutions of entangled semiflexible polymers theoretically and by numerical simulations and experiments with filamentous actin. Based on the tube model of semiflexible polymers, we predict that large finite shear deformations strongly affect the average tube width and curvature, thereby exciting considerab...
متن کاملDynamics of Linear Entangled Polymers Reinforced with Nanoscale Rigid Particles
Recent molecular dynamics simulations [1-3] suggested that the polymer-surface interactions can be the dominant factor in the rheology of polymer systems filled with nanoparticles. These interactions include the short-range forces between the surfaces and the polymer segments. These forces can be responsible for the suppression of the mobility of the polymer segments at the surfaces and even re...
