Three-dimentional Numerical Simulations of Viscoelastic Phase Seperation in Polymer Solutions

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF THE PHASE TRANSITIONS IN CLUSTERS

We have studied the phase transitions in atomic clusters by molecular dynamics simulation, assuming Lennard-Jones interatomic pair potential. Calculations are performed by DAP parallel computer. The results are analyzed by simulating their orientational distribution plots (dot-plot), and neutron diffraction patterns. It is shown that all the main features of the bulk phase transitions are e...

Viscoelastic properties of polymer solutions.

In a concentrated polymer solution, the entanglement of long-chain molecules results in a transient network structure, to which may be attributed certain aspects of the viscoelastic behavior of such a system. A suitable mechanical model for representing this network as a first approximation is a retarded Maxwell element with one spring and two dashpots. Experimental measurements of mechanical p...

Shear Orientation of Viscoelastic Polymer-clay Solutions

Shear-induced structural changes in complex fluids of anisotropic species are very general phenomena, occurring in polymer solutions, liquid crystalline materials and block copolymer melts. The purpose of our work is to investigate the influence of shear on the structure of a highly viscoelastic, aqueous clay-polymer solution. Many structural models have been proposed for such solutions [1-3], ...
