Dynamics of Soliton-Like Excitations in a Chain of a Polymer Crystal: Influence of Neighbouring Chains Mobility
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate influence of mobility of neighbouring chains on dynamics of soliton-like excitations in a chain of the simplest polymer crystal (polyethylene in the “united atoms” approximation) using molecular dynamics simulation. We present results for point-like structural defects: static and moving at low, medium and high velocities; and examine how the structure of a crystal will affect them.

Tube Model for the Elasticity of Entangled Nematic Rubbers
Dense rubbery networks are highly entangled polymer systems, with significant topological restrictions for the mobility of neighbouring chains and crosslinks preventing the reptation constraint release. In a mean field approach, entanglements are treated within the famous reptation approach, since they effectively confine each individual chain in a tube-like geometry. We apply the classical ide...
متن کاملA theoretical reasoning on why coordination catalysts supported on mesoporous supports produce HDPE crystalline nanofibers but not iPP crystalline nanofibers
Since 1999, when Takuzo Aida proposed the preparation of high density polyethylene (HDPE) crystalline nanofibers through polymerization of ethylene by a Cp2 TiCl2 /MCM-41 catalyst, many researchers have published various papers on different aspects of the idea. The published researches show that the endeavors to polymerize other types of alpha olefins, especially propylene, to obtain polyolefin...
متن کاملSpatial soliton pairs in an unbiased photovoltaic-photorefractive crystal circuit
: Optical separate spatial dark and bright soliton pairs in steady-state case in one dimension, for a series circuit consisting of two-photon photorefractive (PR) crystal are investigated. Each crystal can be supported the spatial soliton, and at least one must be photovoltaic. The two solitons are known collectively as separate spatial soliton pairs with dark–dark, bright–dark and bright–brigh...
متن کاملParameter free calculation of the subgap density of states in poly(3-hexylthiophene).
We investigate the influence of intra-chain and inter-chain interactions on the sub-gap density of states in a conjugated polymer using a combination of atomistic molecular dynamics simulation of polymer film structure and tight-binding calculation of electronic energy levels. For disordered assemblies of poly-3-hexylthiophene we find that the tail of the density of hole states is approximately...
متن کاملرسانندگی الکترونی سیم‌های مولکولی پلی‌پیرول (PPy) و ظهور پدیده فانو رزونانس
In this paper, we studied the electronic conductance of a polypyrrole polymer, which is embedded between two semi-infinite simple chains by using Green’s function technique in tight-binding approach. We first reduced the center polymer to a one dimensional chain with renormalized onsite and hopping energies by renormalization method. Then, we calculated the system conductivity as a function of ...
