Investigating Branched Polyethylene Sensors for Applications in Prosthetics

Persistence Length of Short-Chain Branched Polyethylene

The effect of short-chain branching (SCB) on the persistence length lp of polyethylene (PE) was studied using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). In thermodynamically good solvents, lp can be measured directly from the scattering vector qtr at the crossover from good solvent mass-fractal scaling to the rodlike persistent scaling, using the unified equation described in the text. The method w...
