Stress relaxation due to chain fractures in transient polymer networks
" Aspects of a network model for concentrated dispersions are applied to polymer networks. It is shown how network deformation caused by network fracture affects the macroscopic stress.
متن کاملStress relaxation in entangled polymer melts.
We present an extensive set of simulation results for the stress relaxation in equilibrium and step-strained bead-spring polymer melts. The data allow us to explore the chain dynamics and the shear relaxation modulus, G(t), into the plateau regime for chains with Z=40 entanglements and into the terminal relaxation regime for Z=10. Using the known (Rouse) mobility of unentangled chains and the m...
متن کاملCollagen orientation and molecular spacing during creep and stress-relaxation in soft connective tissues.
Collagen fibres form cross-helical, cross-ply or quasi-random feltworks in extensible connective tissues; strain-induced reorientation of these networks gives rise to the non-linear mechanical properties of connective tissue at finite strains. Such tissues are also generally viscoelastic (i.e. display time-dependent properties). The hypothesis that time-dependent reorientation of collagen fibre...
متن کاملDynamics of DNA Knots during Chain Relaxation
We perform single-molecule experiments and simulations to study the swelling of complex knots in linearly extended DNA molecules. We induce self-entanglement of DNA molecules in a microfluidic T-junction using an electrohydrodynamic instability and then stretch the molecules using divergent electric fields. After the chain is fully extended, the knot appears as a region of excess fluorescent br...
متن کاملStress relaxation in polymer networks: equilibrium behavior and dynamics.
The elastic and relaxational properties of a polymer network have been calculated using a stress based formulation based on the Rouse mode expansion [W. L. Vandoolaeghe and E. M. Terentjev, J. Chem. Phys. 123, 34902 (2005)]. In this article, we propose an improved Rouse mode expansion incorporating appropriate boundary conditions. In contrast to the previous work, this improved formulation prov...
