Relaxation of dilute polymer solutions following extensional flow 1
The relaxation of dilute polymer solutions following stretch in uniaxial extensional flow is investigated via Brownian dynamic simulations of a flexible freely-draining bead-rod chain. The bead-rod chain simulations are compared to Brownian dynamic simulations of a FENE dumbbell and numerical calculations of a FENE-PM chain. A universal relaxation curve for the stress decay from steady-state is...
متن کاملInterface motion in semidilute polymer solutions
Linear viscoelastic effects are examined in semidilute polymer solutions in macroscopic two-phase coexistence. If the temperature T or the pressure p is oscillated in time, the interface motion exhibits gel-like behavior at high frequencies and fluid-like behavior at low frequencies. We also study transient relaxation after a step-wise change of T or p. We
متن کاملA Brownian Dynamics Study of Crossover Scaling in Semidilute Polymer Solutions
Understanding the dynamics of polymer solutions in the semidilute regime is important not only from the point of view of advancing fundamental knowledge in polymer science but also from the point of view of technological applications. The behavior of semidilute polymer solutions varies significantly with concentration and solvent quality, which are reflected in the concentration driven crossove...
متن کاملUniversal Ratios of Characteristic Lengths in Semidilute Polymer Solutions
We use experimental and simulation data from the literature to infer five characteristic lengths, denoted ξs, ξf , ξΠ, ξφ, and ξD of a semidilute polymer solution. The first two of these are defined in terms of scattering from the solution, the third is defined in terms of osmotic pressure, the fourth by the spatial monomer concentration profile, and the last by co-operative diffusion. In a giv...
متن کاملElectro-osmotic flow of semidilute polyelectrolyte solutions.
We investigate electro-osmosis in aqueous solutions of polyelectrolytes using mean-field equations. A solution of positively charged polyelectrolytes is confined between two negatively charged planar surfaces, and an electric field is applied parallel to the surfaces. When electrostatic attraction between the polymer and the surface is strong, the polymers adhere to the surface, forming a highl...
