A Monte Carlo simulation study of branched polymers

Monte Carlo simulations are presented for the static properties of highly branched polymer molecules. The molecules consist of a semiflexible backbone of hard-sphere monomers with semiflexible side chains, also composed of hard-sphere monomers, attached to either every backbone bead or every other backbone bead. The conformational properties and structure factor of this model are investigated as a function of the stiffness of the backbone and side chains. The average conformations of the side chains are similar to self-avoiding random walks. The simulations show that there is a stiffening of the backbone as degree of crowding is increased, for example, if the branch spacing is decreased or side chain length is increased. The persistence length of the backbone is relatively insensitive to the stiffness of the side chains over the range investigated. The simulations reproduce most of the qualitative features of the structure factor observed in experiment, although the magnitude of the stiffening of the backbone is smaller than in experiment.     

Thermodynamic modelling of polymer solutions with a modified Staverman equation

A model describing the thermodynamic behaviour of polymer solutions is derived which explicitly accounts for the flexibility of the polymer chains. Based on computer simulations on various lattices it is shown that the flexibility of a polymer chain can be modelled by distinguishing different polymer conformations. Here each conformation is characterized by its corresponding number of external contact sites. The equilibrium between the different conformations is then solved for any polymer concentration and any combination of interaction energies utilizing a modified Staverman equation. The model predictions are in good agreement with the results of the computer simulations which were performed using the simple-sampling and the slithering-snake algorithm. Since the knowledge of the distribution of the conformations of a single polymer chain on an empty lattice is a prerequisite to perform the model calculations, Poisson distribution functions are fitted to the results of the corresponding computer simulations. The generalization of these distribution functions not only facilitates the use of the new model but also allows to model polymers of varying chain stiffness.

The influence of the polymer chain stiffness on tracer diffusion in polymeric matrices

The diffusion of penetrants in polymers is of technological importance in many areas including chromatography and fuel cell membranes. In this work, the effect of chain conformations on tracer diffusion is studied using molecular simulations and a percolation theory. The polymeric matrix is composed of tangent hard sphere chains that are fixed in space; conformations are changed by tuning the stiffness of the chains. The tracer diffusion coefficient is relatively insensitive to the chain stiffness when polymer chains are frozen as in polymer glasses with the local chain dynamics switched off. An analysis of the matrix using percolation theory shows that the polymer volume fraction at the free volume percolation threshold is also relatively insensitive to the chain stiffness, consistent with the diffusion results. This is surprising because the site‐site intermolecular pair correlation functions in the matrix are quite sensitive to the chain stiffness. In contrast, the tracer diffusion coefficient in a melt of mobile chains decreases significantly as the chain stiffness is increased. We conclude that tracer diffusion is only weakly correlated with the chain conformations and local chain dynamics plays an important role. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of the Solvent on the Conformation of Isolated MEH‐PPV Chains Intercalated Into SnS2

Photophysical processes in conjugated polymers are influenced by two competing effects: the extent of excited state delocalization along a chain, and the electronic interaction between chains. Experimentally, it is often difficult to separate the two because both are controlled by chain conformation. Here we demonstrate that it is possible to modify intra‐chain delocalization without inducing inter‐chain interactions by intercalating polymer monolayers between the sheets of an inorganic layered matrix. The red‐emitting conjugated polymer, MEH‐PPV, is confined to the interlayer space of layered SnS₂. The formation of isolated polymer monolayers between the SnS₂ sheets is confirmed by X‐ray diffraction measurements. Photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the incorporated MEH‐PPV chains reveal that the morphology of the incorporated chains can be varied through the choice of solvent used for chain intercalation. Incorporation from chloroform results in more extended conformations compared to intercalation from xylene. Even highly twisted conformations can be achieved when the incorporation occurs from a methanol:chloroform mixture. The PL spectra of the MEH‐PPV incorporated SnS₂ nanocomposites using the different solvents are in good agreement with the PL spectra of the same solutions, indicating that the conformation of the polymer chains in the solutions is retained upon intercalation into the inorganic host. Therefore, intercalation of conjugated polymer chains into layered hosts enables the study of intra‐chain photophysical processes as a function of chain conformation.     

Understanding interactions between poly(styrene-co-sodium styrene sulfonate) and single-walled carbon nanotubes

Understanding formation mechanisms of hybrids of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) wrapped by polymers and their interactions is critical in modifying solubility of CNTs in aqueous solution and developing new nanotube-based polymer materials. In the present work, we investigate the structural details of poly(styrene-co-sodium styrene sulfonate) (PSS) wrapping around the CNT and the interactions between the PSS chain and the CNT using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The fraction of sulfonated groups significantly influences the wrapping conformations of the PSS chain. Due to limited time scale in the MD simulations, two different initial conformations of the chains are introduced to explore the effect of the initial state on the wrapping behavior. When the chains initially wrap around the CNT in a perfect helix manner, more compact pseudo-helical conformations are obtained. For initial straight line arrangement of the chain monomers, the chains adopt looser wrapping conformations. The free-energy analysis and binding interaction of the PSS chain on the CNT surface take a glance on the relationship between the conformational transition of the chain and the energy evolution.
