Correlation Length and Entanglement Spacing in Concentrated Hydrogenated Polybutadiene Solutions
The concentration correlation length, ê, and the entanglement spacing, d, have been determined in solutions of hydrogenated polybutadiene in n-alkane solvents at 140 °C by small-angle neutron scattering and rheology, respectively. The former varies as ê ∼ φ-0.76 over the range 0.04 < φ < 0.7. This result is in agreement with scaling predictions for semidilute solutions in a good solvent, but in...
متن کاملSlip, concentration fluctuations and flow instability in sheared polymer solutions
Recent experiments suggest that shear-enhanced growth of concentration fluctuations in polymer solutions is strongly influenced by solid boundaries. We analyze the dynamics of a model of a sheared polymer solution, accounting for the effect of stress variations on mass flux and for wall-slip. If (and only if) these effects are present, the flow exhibits a boundary-localized instability consiste...
متن کاملMicrostructure of Sheared Entangled Solutions of Semiflexible Polymers
We study the influence of finite shear deformations on the microstructure and rheology of solutions of entangled semiflexible polymers theoretically and by numerical simulations and experiments with filamentous actin. Based on the tube model of semiflexible polymers, we predict that large finite shear deformations strongly affect the average tube width and curvature, thereby exciting considerab...
متن کاملConformational kinetics of disaccharides in aqueous solutions.
Between 100 kHz and 2 GHz ultrasonic attenuation spectra of disaccharides in water have been measured at 25 degrees C. Some additional measurements have been performed at different temperatures between 10 and 35 degrees C and as a function of saccharide concentration c (0.5 mol/l</=c</=1.8 mol/l). The analytical description of the spectra in terms of relaxation spectral functions revealed four ...
متن کاملFlow Field Visualization of Entangled Polybutadiene Solutions under Nonlinear Viscoelastic Flow Conditions
Using self-designed particle visualization instrumentation, startup shear and step strain tests were conducted under a series of systematically varied rheological and geometrical conditions, and the velocity profiles of three different well-entangled polybutadiene/oligomer solutions were obtained. For startup shear tests, in the regime of entanglement densities up to 89 and Weissenberg numbers ...
