Dynamics � and flow - induced phase separ - ation in polymeric fluids
The past few years have seen many advances in our understanding of the dynamics of polymeric fluids. These include improvements on the successful reptation theory; an emerging molecular theory of semiflexible chain dynamics; and an understanding of how to calculate and classify “phase diagrams” for flow-induced transitions. Experimentalists have begun mapping out the phase behavior of wormlike ...

متن کاملYieldlike constitutive transition in shear flow of entangled polymeric fluids.
We describe an unexpected constitutive transition in entangled polymer solutions. At and beyond a critical stress, the initial spatially homogeneous and well-entangled sample transforms from its entangled (coiled) state into a fully disentangled (stretched) state over a period during which the resulting shear rate increases in a spatially inhomogeneous fashion. In the mode of controlled shear r...
متن کاملThe morphology and dynamics of polymerization-induced phase separation
The morphology and dynamics of polymerization-induced phase separation in the initially homogeneous solution of a non-reactive component in reactive monomers are investigated by incorporating the reaction kinetics into the Cahn–Hilliard equation. Analytical results show that there is a reduction of the initial length scale in the early stage of phase separation. The reason is the increase of th...
متن کاملPhase-separation models for swimming enhancement in complex fluids.
Swimming cells often have to self-propel through fluids displaying non-Newtonian rheology. While past theoretical work seems to indicate that stresses arising from complex fluids should systematically hinder low-Reynolds number locomotion, experimental observations suggest that locomotion enhancement is possible. In this paper we propose a physical mechanism for locomotion enhancement of micros...
