Experimental evidence for the strong interpenetration of two polymer chains very different in size
نویسندگان
چکیده
The interpenetration function of some polymer mixture solutions in a good solvent is examined in the case of polymers of the same chemical species but with very different sizes. The results are compared to two theoretical models. In the first one, the polymers are considered as non-interpenetrating hard-spheres and, in the second one, a blob model of strongly interpenetrated chains is introduced. The experimental results show a better agreement with the second

Two different one-dimensional structural motifs in the same coordination polymer: a novel interpenetration of infinite ladders by bundles of infinite chains.
A coordination polymer with a novel structural motif consisting of stacks of infinite ladders interpenetrated by bundles of infinite chains is described; geometrical arguments are made for the requirements that can lead to such interpenetration as a function of ligand dimensions.
متن کاملKinetics of Intramolecular and Intermolecular Reactions Involving Two Functional Groups Attached to Polymers
Three types of investigations are described. (a) When a polymer chain carries reactive substituents, the reaction rate may be increased by very large factors if these groups are sufficiently close to each other. More distant groups interact at rates governed by the chain flexibility. A technique is described for studying the effect of the excluded volume on the probability of cyclic chain confo...
متن کاملQuantification of identical and unique segments in ethylene-propylene copolymers using two dimensional liquid chromatography with infra-red detection
Hyphenating High Temperature High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HT-HPLC) with High Temperature Size Exclusion Chromatography (HT-SEC) (High Temperature Two Dimensional Liquid Chromatography (HT-HPLC x HT-SEC or HT 2D-LC)) leads to an isocratic elution in the second dimension, which in turn enables to use IR detector (quantitative detection) for monitoring the eluting polymers. Experimental...
متن کاملExperimental evaluation of thermal stability of PS- MWCNT nanocomposite as a real-time dosimeter
Introduction: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are ideal reinforcing fillers for a polymer matrix, because of their nanometer size, high aspect ratio and, more importantly, their excellent mechanical strength, and electrical and thermal conductivity. The CNTs are categorized into two groups: SWCNT and MWCNT. MWCNTs would have diameters ranging from 2 to 100 nm and lengths of up to tens ...
متن کاملCompression of polyelectrolyte brushes in a salt-free theta solvent.
This paper examines the normal force between two opposing polyelectrolyte brushes and the interpenetration of their chains that is responsible for sliding friction. It focuses on the special case of semi-dilute brushes in a salt-free theta solvent, for which Zhulina and Borisov (J. Chem. Phys. 107, 5952 (1997)) have derived analytical predictions using the classical strong-stretching theory (SS...
