Branched Polymers under Shear
By employing a multiscale simulational approach that combines multiparticle-collision dynamics for the solvent with standard molecular dynamics for the monomers, we examine the behavior of dendritic macromolecules under shear. We analyze quantitatively the shape and anisotropy of the molecules and its dependence on the shear rate, the molecular generation, and the stiffness of the bonds. The ro...
متن کاملShear Damping Function Measurements for Branched Polymers
We present results for step-strain experiments and the resulting damping functions of polyethylene blends of different structures, including solutions of linear, star and comb polymers. Remarkably, an entangled melt of combs exhibits a damping function close to that for entangled linear chains. Diluting the combs with fasterrelaxing material leads to a more nearly constant damping function. We ...
متن کاملStar polymers in shear flow.
Linear and star polymers in solution are studied in the presence of shear flow. The solvent is described by a particle-based mesoscopic simulation technique, which accounts for hydrodynamic interactions. The scaling properties of the average gyration tensor, the orientation angle, and the rotation frequency are investigated for various arm lengths and arm numbers. With increasing functionality ...
متن کاملShear 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 کاملThe weak shear kinetic phase diagram for nematic polymers
Received: 11 March 2003 Accepted: 21 May 2003 Published online: 5 September 2003 Springer-Verlag 2003 Abstract We study the shear problem for nematic polymers as modeled by the molecular kinetic theory of Doi (1981), focusing on the anomalous slow flow regime. We provide the kinetic phase diagram of monodomain (MD) attractors and phase transitions vs normalized nematic concentration (N) and wea...
