Shear banding in simulated telechelic polymers
The response of simulated telechelic polymers to shear is investigated. End groups of short polymeric chains form temporary junctions that are continuously broken and formed over time. As in experiments, two shear bands coexist for some shear rates. This allows us to study the microscopic differences between these shear bands. We find that the lifetime of a junction is lower in the high shear r...
متن کاملEXAFS evidence for local order in the ionic aggregates of halato-telechelic polymers
2014 The ionic aggregates in bulk halato-telechelic polymers, a class of ion-containing polymers with well controlled molecular characteristics, have a high degree of local order, as shown by EXAFS spectroscopy. In zinc neutralized carboxy telechelic polybutadiene each cation is surrounded by an average of 6 oxygen neighbours as well as by a second shell of up to 5 zinc atoms at a distance of 3...
متن کاملStructure and Properties of DNA in Apolar Solvents
The study of nucleic acids in low-polarity environments paves the way for novel biotechnological applications of DNA. Here, we use a repertoire of atomistic molecular simulation tools to study the nature of DNA when placed in a highly apolar environment and when transferred from aqueous to apolar solvent. Our results show that DNA becomes stiffer in apolar solvents and suggest that highly negat...
متن کاملShear thickening in colloidal dispersions
First of all, I will introduce the basics of Newtonian fluids, followed by differences in comparison to non-Newtonian fluids. Following that, I will consider suspensions and focus on the shear thickening phenomena. Different theories behind that lead us to an order-disorder system and a hydro-clusters formulation. Finally, I will present its applications and prospects for the future.
متن کاملThermothickening in solutions of telechelic associating polymers and cyclodextrins.
Telechelic associating polymers (hydrophilic ethoxylated backbone, hydrophobic n-alkyl end-groups) form viscous solutions in water due to associations between the hydrophobes. The addition of alpha-, beta-, or gamma-cyclodextrin (CD) substantially reduces the solution viscosity because the CD molecules envelop and sequester the hydrophobes in their hydrophobic cavities. The present paper explor...
