Onset of tethered chain overcrowding.

چکیده
We proposed an approach to precisely control the density of tethered chains on solid substrates using PEO-b-PS and PLLA-b-PS. As the crystallization temperature Tx increased, the PEO or PLLA lamellar crystal thickness d(L) increased as well as the reduced tethering density sigma; of the PS chains. The onset of tethered PS chains overcrowding in solution occurs at sigma(*) approximately 3.7-3.8 as evidenced by an abrupt change in the slope between (d(L))(-1) and Tx. This results from the extra surface free energy created by the tethered chain that starts to affect the growth barrier of the crystalline blocks.

متن کاملSegmental relaxation behavior of polystyrene chains in the cores of collapsed dry micelles tethered on the micelle film surface by a poly(acrylic acid) corona.
We present an experimental investigation of the segmental relaxation behavior of polystyrene (PS) chains that are confined in a micellar core tethered by a poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) block corona on the dry film surface, along with various core density and molecular weight of PS block from below to well above the entanglement molecular weight. The results show that the onset temperature of PS cha...
متن کاملStretching tethered DNA chains in shear flow
– We discuss the stretching of tethered chains subject to a shear flow. Fluorescence microscopy measurements of the extension of sheared tethered DNA, “model polymers”, of various lengths are presented. The tethered chains approach full extension as the flow rate is increased, but very slowly. We show that a general theory to understand the large deformation of any sheared tethered chain must i...
متن کاملOvercrowding Stress Management in Broiler Chicken with Herbal Antistressor
Overcrowding of broiler chicks due to lack of space induces harmful effects which act as predisposing factor in the reduction of production and performance in poultry. Supplementation of antistressor products can ameliorate adverse effect of various stressors in poultry. An experiment was designed by inducing overcrowding stress and its management by supplementation of polyherbal antistressor, ...
