چکیده

We study the equilibrium structure and dynamics of unconcatenated unknotted polymer rings in the melt. In accordance with earlier studies we find that rings in the melt are more compact than linear chains. We show that rings interpenetrate less and, perhaps as a result, diffuse faster than linear chains. Ring diffusion is faster for all ring sizes studied, the largest ring having numbers of monomers approximately ten times greater than the entanglement crossover of linear chains. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~98!52112-5#

بررسی سیستم های پلیمری حاوی گروه های پر انرژی تترازول(علمی-ترویجی)

Tetrazoles are cyclic aromatic compounds that include four nitrogens and one carbon atom in one ring .These compounds have many applications in civil and military industries. These compounds can produce great amount of N2 after burning and for this reason they have a little environmental contamination and are considered as green explosive materials. Introduction of tetrazoles in polymeric chain...

Nanoparticle Motion in Entangled Melts of Linear and Nonconcatenated Ring Polymers

The motion of nanoparticles (NPs) in entangled melts of linear polymers and nonconcatenated ring polymers are compared by large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. The comparison provides a paradigm for the effects of polymer architecture on the dynamical coupling between NPs and polymers in nanocomposites. Strongly suppressed motion of NPs with diameter d larger than the entanglement spacing...

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Antibacterial Evaluation of Di-μ-chlorido-bis({2-[(4-methoxyphenyl)- iminomethyl]pyridine-κ2N,N']Mercury(II)

New coordination polymer of [HgLCl2]n (1) with HgCl2 and Schiff base bidentate ligand (4-methoxyphenyl) pyridine-2yl methyleneamine (L) was prepared and structurally characterized. In the 1D network structure of 1, the mecury (II) ion adopts an HgN2Cl3 distorted square pyramid geometry. In this complex, one of the chlorine acts as bridging ligand connecting two adjacent mercury(II) ions while, ...
