Interface motion in semidilute polymer solutions
نویسنده
چکیده
Linear viscoelastic effects are examined in semidilute polymer solutions in macroscopic two-phase coexistence. If the temperature T or the pressure p is oscillated in time, the interface motion exhibits gel-like behavior at high frequencies and fluid-like behavior at low frequencies. We also study transient relaxation after a step-wise change of T or p. We

Theory of polymer relaxation times in semidilute solutions. I : mode relaxation
The rate at which the intemal mode of motion of the strained polymer chains in semidilute solutions relaxes is calculated as a function of concentration. The excluded-volume and hydrodynamic interactions are taken into account. Gradual approach to the behavior of ideal chains due to the screening effect is demonstrated explicitly.
متن کاملCapillary electrophoresis of RNA in dilute and semidilute polymer solutions.
We report separations of RNA molecules (281-6583 nucleotides) by capillary electrophoresis in dilute and semidilute solutions of aqueous hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) ether in varying buffers. RNA mobility and peak band widths are examined under both nondenaturing and also denaturing conditions. From studies of sieving polymer concentration and chain length, it is found that good separations can ...
متن کاملConcentration Dependent Dynamics of Semidilute Polymer Solutions: Universal Behaviour from Coarse-grained Simulations
In a wide variety of systems, knowledge of the behaviour of semidilute polymer solutions is of fundamental importance to obtaining predictive understanding. In this work, we use Brownian dynamics simulations to examine the concentration dependence of the dynamics of semidilute polymer solutions at equilibrium. Due to the overlap of polymer coils with increasing concentration, the properties of ...
متن کاملViscoelastic effect on nucleation in semidilute polymer solutions
We study the growth of droplets consisting mostly of solvent in a metastable semidilute polymer solution. We introduce a modified Gibb~Thomson relation at the interface which accounts for viscoelastic effects. The growth is much decelerated when the radius is shorter than a long viscoelastic length. Not enough attention has yet been paid to nucleation phenomena in polymeric
متن کاملA Brownian Dynamics Study of Crossover Scaling in Semidilute Polymer Solutions
Understanding the dynamics of polymer solutions in the semidilute regime is important not only from the point of view of advancing fundamental knowledge in polymer science but also from the point of view of technological applications. The behavior of semidilute polymer solutions varies significantly with concentration and solvent quality, which are reflected in the concentration driven crossove...
