Kinetic mechanism of chain folding in polymer crystallization.
I develop a kinetic mechanism to explain chain folding in polymer crystallization which is based on the competition between the formation of stems, which is due to frequent occupations of trans states along the chains in the supercooled polymer melt, and the random coil structure of the polymer chains. Setting equal the average formation time of stems of length d(l) with the Rouse time of a pie...
متن کاملFolding mechanism of a polymer chain with short-range attractions.
We investigate the crystallization of a single, flexible homopolymer chain using transition path sampling. The chain consists of N identical spherical monomers evolved according to Langevin dynamics. While neighboring monomers are coupled via harmonic springs, the non-neighboring monomers interact via a hard core and a short-ranged attractive potential. For a sufficiently small interaction rang...
متن کاملTHE KINETIC AND MECHANISM OF CRYSTALLIZATION OF MGGEO3 IN 65GEO2-15PBO-10MGF2-10MGO GLASS SYSTEM
In this study, the crystallization behavior of a 65GeO2-15PbO-10MgF2-10MgO glass (prepared by the conventional melt quenching technique) has been investigated. The microstructure and crystallization behaviors of this glass were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), non-isothermal differential thermal analysis (DTA) and Fourier transform infrared spectr...
متن کاملPolymer Crystallization as the Self-Organization of Chain Macromolecules
M D simulation is used to investigate ther self-organization exhibited by a chain of atoms with strong interaction between nearest neighbours and weak interaction between more distant atoms. It is shown that the supermolecular structure is formed in several steps: at first, an initially straight chain becomes zigzag-shaped, then the zigzag ribbon folds, producing regions of crystalline and amor...
متن کاملKinetic folding mechanism of PDZ2 from PTP-BL.
PDZ domains represent a large family of protein-interaction modules associated with a variety of unrelated proteins with different functions. We report a complete characterization of the kinetic folding mechanism of a fluorescent variant of PDZ2 from PTP-BL, investigated under a variety of different experimental conditions. For this purpose, we engineered a fluorescent variant of this protein Y...
