Virial coefficients and osmotic pressure in polymer solutions in good-solvent conditions.
We determine the second, third, and fourth virial coefficients appearing in the density expansion of the osmotic pressure Pi of a monodisperse polymer solution in good-solvent conditions. Using the expected large-concentration behavior, we extrapolate the low-density expansion outside the dilute regime, obtaining the osmotic pressure for any concentration in the semidilute region. Comparison wi...
متن کاملThermodynamjc Interactions in Dilute Polymer Solutions: the Virial Coefficients
The statistical thermodynamics of dilute polymer solutions is reviewed from the point of view of the continuum theory based on molecular distribution functions. The comparatively rigorous perturbation treatment of the second and third virial coefficients, and various approximate theories derived from it to give closed-form expressions useful for good-solvent systems. are outlined. Indications f...
متن کاملPolymer size in dilute solutions in the good-solvent regime.
We determine the density expansion of the radius of gyration, of the hydrodynamic radius, and of the end-to-end distance for a monodisperse polymer solution in good-solvent conditions. We consider the scaling limit (large degree of polymerization), including the leading scaling corrections. Using the expected large-concentration behavior, we extrapolate these low-density expansions outside the ...
متن کاملScattering function of semiflexible polymer chains under good solvent conditions.
Using the pruned-enriched Rosenbluth Monte Carlo algorithm, the scattering functions of semiflexible macromolecules in dilute solution under good solvent conditions are estimated both in d = 2 and d = 3 dimensions, considering also the effect of stretching forces. Using self-avoiding walks of up to N = 25,600 steps on the square and simple cubic lattices, variable chain stiffness is modeled by ...
متن کاملDiffusion Coefficients in Polymer- Solvent Systems for Highly Concentrated Polymer Solutions
The Vrentas/Duda proposal for the diffusion of polymer-solvent systems, which is based on the free-volume theory, was employed in correlating and predicting mutual diffusion coefficients in highly concentrated polymer solutions. It has been observed that the predictive version of the model is capable of qualitatively representing the experimental data, while the use of an adjustable parameter g...
