The Dynamic Behavior of a Single Semiflexible Ring Chain in a Linear Polymer Matrix
نویسندگان
چکیده
We studied the dynamic behavior of a single semiflexible ring in linear chain matrix based on coarse-grained model using molecular dynamics simulation approach. found that chains’ hollow centers are frequently filled with chains. However, as rigidity chains increases, arranged parallel to each other and temporary caged. As result, swing movement normal direction is significantly limited, relaxation time increases significantly. Our findings can help understand physical mechanism ring–linear polymer blends at microscopic level.

Tension Dynamics and Linear Viscoelastic Behavior of a Single Semiflexible Polymer Chain
We study the dynamical response of a single semiflexible polymer chain based on the theory developed by Hallatschek et al. for the wormlike-chain model. The linear viscoelastic response under oscillatory forces acting at the two chain ends is derived analytically as a function of the oscillation frequency ω. We shall show that the real part J ′ of the complex compliance J = J ′ + iJ ′′ in the l...
متن کاملSemiflexible polymer solutions. I. Phase behavior and single-chain statistics
We study the thermodynamics and single-chain statistics of wormlike polymer solutions with Maier–Saupe-type interactions using self-consistent-field ~SCF! theory. The SCF equations are derived using a systematic field-theoretical approach which yields the SCF equations as the lowest order approximation, but permits fluctuation corrections to be incorporated. We solve the SCF equations using the...
متن کاملBarrier crossing of a semiflexible ring polymer.
Motivated by the dynamics of a membrane in response to an external force, we study the thermally activated crossing of a semiflexible ring polymer over a potential barrier. For the bistable potential of Kramers type smoothly varying over a long length scale, we calculate the crossing rate using the multidimensional Kramers' rate theory and the functional integral method. We find that, due to it...
متن کاملLinear viscoelasticity of a single semiflexible polymer with internal friction.
The linear viscoelastic behaviors of single semiflexible chains with internal friction are studied based on the wormlike-chain model. It is shown that the frequency dependence of the complex compliance in the high frequency limit is the same as that of the Voigt model. This asymptotic behavior appears also for the Rouse model with internal friction. We derive the characteristic times for both t...
متن کاملBuckling a Semiflexible Polymer Chain under Compression
Instability and structural transitions arise in many important problems involving dynamics at molecular length scales. Buckling of an elastic rod under a compressive load offers a useful general picture of such a transition. However, the existing theoretical description of buckling is applicable in the load response of macroscopic structures, only when fluctuations can be neglected, whereas mem...
