Equilibrium and Dynamics of Dilute Polymer Solutions
Polymers show universal behavior at long length and time scales. In this chapter, the equilibrium and dynamics of dilute polymer solutions is presented in terms of theoretical models that form the basis of polymer physics. The size of an ideal polymer is calculated from the freely jointed chain model, the freely rotating chain model and the Gaussian equivalent chain model. The Edwards Hamiltoni...
متن کاملMonte-Carlo simulations of polymer crystallization in dilute solution
Polymer crystallization in dilute solution is studied by three-dimensional Monte-Carlo simulations using the bond fluctuation model. We study monodisperse chains of moderate length, intended to model recent experiments on monodisperse alkanes with length of a few hundred carbon atoms, and we also investigate chain folding of very long polymers. For monodisperse flexible chains we observe both e...
متن کاملBuckling instabilities in dilute polymer solution elastic strands
A microfluidic oscillatory cross-slot flow is used to visualize birefringent strands in dilute polystyrene solutions with high temporal resolution, focusing specifically on reversals in the flow direction. Due to polymer conformation hysteresis, the elastic strands are slow to relax and demonstrate a compressive modulus, resulting in a “buckling instability.” An elastic loop of birefringence fo...
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...
متن کاملPolymer-nanoparticle complexes: from dilute solution to solid state.
We report on the formation and the structural properties of "supermicellar" aggregates made from mineral nanoparticles and polyelectrolyte-neutral block copolymers in aqueous solutions. The mineral particles put under scrutiny are ultrafine and positively charged yttrium hydroxyacetate nanoparticles. Combining light, neutron, and X-ray scattering experiments, we have characterized the sizes and...
