Anomalous nonlinearities in steady shear of polyethylene melts
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) melts have been previously identified as having an unusually high degree of molecular order, but the rheological implications of this have heretofore not been explored. This has been a serious oversight, inasmuch as HDPE melt processing is one of the major tasks of the world's polymer industry. Here, we investigate several industrial samples of HDPE, covering a ...
متن کاملPersistence of a Rouse polymer chain under transverse shear flow.
We consider a single Rouse polymer chain in two dimensions in the presence of a transverse shear flow along the x direction and calculate the persistence probability P0(t) that the x coordinate of a bead in the bulk of the chain does not return to its initial position up to time t. We show that the persistence decays at late times as a power law P0(t) approximately t{-theta} with a nontrivial e...
متن کاملUniversality of block copolymer melts.
Simulations of five different coarse-grained models of symmetric diblock copolymers are compared to demonstrate a universal (i.e., model-independent) dependence of the free energy and order-disorder transition (ODT) on the invariant degree of polymerization N̄. The actual values of χN at the ODT approach predictions of the Fredrickson-Helfand (FH) theory for N̄ ≳ 10(4) but significantly exceed FH...
متن کاملRouse Mode Analysis of Chain Relaxation in Homopolymer Melts
We use molecular dynamics simulations of the Kremer-Grest (KG) bead-spring model of polymer chains of length between 10 and 500, and a closely related analogue that allows for chain crossing, to clearly delineate the effects of entanglements on the length-scale-dependent chain relaxation in polymer melts. We analyze the resulting trajectories using the Rouse modes of the chains and find that en...
متن کاملOptimization of A Thermal Coupled Flow Problem of Semiconductor Melts
In this paper we describe the formal Lagrange-technique to optimize the production process of solid state crystals from a mixture crystal melt. After the construction of the adjoint equation system of the Boussinesq equation of the crystal melt the forward and backward problems (KKT-system) are discretized by a conservative finite volume method.
