Numerical study of a slip-link model for polymer melts and nanocomposites.
We present a numerical study of the slip link model introduced by Likhtman for describing the dynamics of dense polymer melts. After reviewing the technical aspects associated with the implementation of the model, we extend previous work in several directions. The dependence of the relaxation modulus with the slip link density and the slip link stiffness is reported. Then the nonlinear rheologi...
متن کاملAnalysis and Suppression of Instabilities in Viscoelastic Flows
The viscoelastic character of polymer solutions and melts gives rise to instabilities that are not seen in the flows of Newtonian liquids. In industrial applications such as coating and extrusion, these so-called “elastic” instabilities can impose a limitation on the throughput. Hence, it is important to understand, and if possible, to suppress them. The first instability we study is the phenom...
متن کاملWall Slip and Boundary Effects in Polymer Shear Flows
Polymer – surface interactions strongly influence many important industrial and rheological flows. In particular, polymer melts and solutions slip against the surface; this has long been associated with sharkskin and spurt in extrusion, and recent experimental observations suggest that slip also plays a role in the formation of enhanced concentration fluctuations in entangled polymer solutions....
متن کاملSteep wave fronts on extrudates of polymer melts and solutions: lubrication layers and boundary lubrication
Steep wave fronts tend to develop in many regimes of lubricated, slipping flows in which waves appear. Problems of slip, spurt, fracture and extrudate distortion can be framed in terms of lubrication theory with paradigms arising from the lubrication of heavy oil with water for some problems and concepts from the theory of boundary lubrication for others. In water lubricated pipelines, high pre...
متن کاملMolecular observation of constraint release in polymer melts.
The dynamics of binary polymer blends of few labeled long chains in successively shorter matrix chains has been investigated by neutron spin echo (NSE) spectroscopy. For the first time the effect of constraint release on the chain relaxation has been directly observed on a microscopic scale. Decreasing the matrix chain length reduces the topological confinement until unconfined Rouse motion is ...
