Constitutive Curve and Velocity Profile in Entangled Polymers during Start-Up of Steady Shear Flow
Time-dependent shear stress versus shear rate, constitutive curve, and velocity profile measurements are reported in entangled polymer solutions during start-up of steady shear flow. By combining confocal microscopy and particle image velocimetry (PIV), we determine the time-dependent velocity profile in polybutadiene and polystyrene solutions seeded with fluorescent 150 nm silica and 7.5 μm me...
متن کاملBranched 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 کاملAccuracy of bead-spring chains in strong flows
We have analyzed the response of bead-spring chain models in strong elongational flow as the amount of polymer represented by a spring s changed. We examined the longest relaxation time of the chains which is used to quantify the strength of the flow in terms of a Weissenberg umber. A chain with linear springs can be used to predict the longest relaxation time of the nonlinear chains if the lin...
متن کاملDynamic simulation of freely-draining, flexible bead-rod chains: Start-up of extensional and shear flow
We present a study of the rheology and optical properties during the start-up of uniaxial extensional and shear flow for freely-draining, Kramers bead-rod chains using Brownian dynamics simulations. The viscous and elastic contributions to the polymer stress are unambiguously determined via methods developed in our previous publication [1]. The elastic contribution to the polymer stress is much...
متن کاملOn the coarse-graining of polymers into bead-spring chains
We present a study of the coarse-graining of polymers into bead-spring chains using statistical mechanics. The force–extension behavior is examined at different levels of coarse-graining. A direct result of the springs being decoupled is that the force–extension behavior depends only on the number of flexibility lengths (e.g. persistence or Kuhn lengths) represented by each spring. This dimensi...
