In entangled polymeric liquids, a subchain connecting two entanglements is an open system which can exchange particles (Kuhn segments) with its neighboring subchains along the polymer chain. We present a calculation of the subchain mechanical behavior as determined from the grand canonical formalism of statistical mechanics, with different subchains in the same chain sharing the same chemical potential. It is shown that the linear monomer density is a constant, as originally inferred by Doi and Edwards, but the tension is generally different from one subchain to another. Accounting for the latter effect leads to a new tensorial strain measure, somewhat different from that proposed by Doi and Edwards. 相似文献

In de Gennes-Doi-Edwards theory for entangled polymeric melts, a length scale r0 is introduced, giving the equilibrium mesh size of the physical network of chains. Each polymer molecule is then represented
as a random walk, with a step size r0 (a “subchain”, made up of n0 Kuhn segments) dictated by the existence of entanglements. Progressing from this simple picture, an issue that has been constantly
overlooked so far, despite its potential relevance, is that of finite-size effects at the de Gennes-Doi-Edwards characteristic
length scale. Actually, since a subchain in a melt is a “small”, nonmacroscopic system, fluctuations of both its length and
its number of Kuhn segments are certainly nonnegligible. An ad hoc theoretical treatment from nonstandard (nano) statistical mechanics and thermodynamics seems then required, to find the anticipated
equilibrium statistical distributions of the subchain population. In this contribution, we carefully discuss this topic. Some
predictions from the nonstandard fluctuation-inclusive approach on the statistics of subchains are here obtained, and compared
with existing simulations, even down to the atomistic level. 相似文献

The complex dynamic shear modulus of soft polymeric materials may be determined in principle at low and audio frequencies from torsion pendulum and torsional resonance experiments on metal strips coated with the polymer. In order to determine the polymer shear properties from such experiments, it is necessary to know the torsional rigidity of the two-layer compound beam. This is calculated in the paper by using classical elasticity theory, for the particular case when the metal shear modulus is much greater than that of the soft coating. The theory of dynamic torsion tests is then briefly reviewed and experiments are suggested for determining the polymer dynamic shear properties. A discussion is also given of the effectiveness of polymer coatings as a damping treatment for torsional vibrations. 相似文献

In a nematic gel we observe a low-energy buckling deformation arising from soft and semisoft elastic modes. We prepare the self-assembled gel by dissolving a coil-side-group liquid-crystalline polymer-coil copolymer in a nematic liquid crystal. The gel has long network strands and a precisely tailored structure, making it ideal for studying nematic rubber elasticity. Under polarized optical microscopy we observe a striped texture that forms when gels uniformly aligned at 35 degrees C are cooled to room temperature. We model the instability using the molecular theory of nematic rubber elasticity, and the theory correctly captures the change in pitch length with sample thickness and polymer concentration. This buckling instability is a clear example of a low-energy deformation that arises in materials where polymer network strains are coupled to the director orientation. 相似文献

Stress–strain dependencies of cross-linked elastomers under stretching are considered. The capabilities to describe stress–strain plots of different types for elastomers, including curves with an inflection, by high-elasticity theories are examined. Limitations in the use of common high-elasticity models in the theoretical calculations of stress–strain plots are revealed. The analysis shows that the stress–strain plots with an inflection can be obtained with appropriate adjustment of the concept of finite chain extensibility. We propose a combined two-parameter model based on this concept and on the theory of high elasticity, taking into account the spatial constraints at the initial stage of stretching of the polymer network. Abilities of the new approach to describe the stress–strain dependencies in an adequate manner are demonstrated for five samples of cross-linked polyurethane over the entire range of strain under stretching. 相似文献

We consider the problem of asymmetric strain and stress distribution in silica fiber under threepoint bending. The parameters of nonlinear elasticity of silica glass under tension and compression are estimated using available data from the literature. It has been found that consideration of the nonlinear elasticity of silica glass leads to a slight increase in the calculated values of strength compared to the data obtained from estimates based on the linear theory of elasticity. 相似文献

A molecular model of freely jointed chains of chiral monomers is developed to describe the piezoelectric effect in chiral
nematic elastomers. The model, an extension of the neo-classical theory of nematic polymer networks, takes into account a
chiral biasing of molecular alignment under shear which leads to induced polarisation if the monomers contain a transverse
dipole moment. The resulting theory is fully non-linear in elastic deformations, in the spirit of ordinary rubber elasticity.
The expansion to the highest order in small strains gives the three linear piezoelectric coefficients predicted by phenomenological
models.

Experimental results of studying low-frequency (74 kHz) shear elasticity of polymer liquids by the impedance method (analogous to the Mason method) are presented. A free-volume thick liquid layer is placed on the horizontal surface of a piezoelectric quartz crystal with dimensions 34.7 × 12 × 5.5 cm. The latter performs tangential vibrations at resonance frequency. The liquid layer experiences shear strain, and shear waves should propagate in it. From the theory of the method, it follows that, with an increase in the layer thickness, both real and imaginary resonance frequency shifts should exhibit damped oscillations and tend to limiting values. For the liquids under study, the imaginary frequency shift far exceeds the real one, which testifies to the presence of bulk shear elasticity. 相似文献

The problem of deducing one-dimensional theory from two-dimensional theory for a homogeneous isotropic beam is investigated.
Based on elasticity theory, the refined theory of rectangular beams is derived by using Papkovich-Neuber solution and Lur’e
method without ad hoc assumptions. It is shown that the displacements and stresses of the beam can be represented by the angle of rotation and
the deflection of the neutral surface. Based on the refined beam theory, the exact equations for the beam without transverse
surface loadings are derived and consist of two governing differential equations: the fourth-order equation and the transcendental
equation. The approximate equations for the beam under transverse loadings are derived directly from the refined beam theory
and are almost the same as the governing equations of Timoshenko beam theory. In two examples, it is shown that the new theory
provides better results than Levinson’s beam theory when compared with those obtained from the linear theory of elasticity. 相似文献

To understand the mechanics of a complex fluid such as a foam we propose a model experiment (a bidimensional flow around an obstacle) for which an external sollicitation is applied, and a local response is measured, simultaneously. We observe that an asymmetric obstacle (cambered airfoil profile) experiences a downwards lift, opposite to the lift usually known (in a different context) in aerodynamics. Correlations of velocity, deformations, and pressure fields yield a clear explanation of this inverse lift, involving the elasticity of the foam. We argue that such an inverse lift is likely common to complex fluids with elasticity. 相似文献

针对含可溶性活性剂的垂直液膜排液过程,在考虑表面弹性作用的基础上,采用润滑理论建立了液膜厚度、表面速度、表面和内部活性剂浓度的演化方程组,通过数值计算分析了表面弹性和活性剂溶解度耦合作用下的液膜演化特征.结果表明:表面弹性是影响可溶性活性剂垂直液膜排液过程中必不可少的因素.排液初期,随表面弹性增加,液膜初始厚度增大,表面更趋于刚性化.随排液进行,弹性不同的液膜呈现不同的典型排液特征:当弹性较小时,液膜上部表面张力高,下部表面张力低,产生正向的马兰戈尼效应,与重力作用相抗衡.当弹性较大时,膜上部表面张力低,下部表面张力高,产生逆向的马兰戈尼效应,促使液膜排液加速,更易发生失稳.活性剂溶解度通过控制液膜表面的活性剂分子吸附量,进而影响表面弹性:当活性剂溶解度较大时,液膜厚度较小,很快发生破断;随溶解度降低,液膜稳定性增加,初始表面弹性也随之增大,并随液膜变薄逐渐接近极限膨胀弹性值. 相似文献

Multimode dispersion is the main obstacle for high bandwidth in multimode optical fiber (MMF) communication system. Mode selection is an effective method to oppress multimode dispersion. We propose and investigate a kind of polymer optical fiber polished coupler. Beam propagation method (BPM) is employed to calculate the coupling coefficient of transmission modes in MMF coupler, and an output pattern from coupling branch is obtained. Analysis and experiment show that this coupler can select certain modes by changing polished depth, contact area, and intersection angle of two branches, which means that the device can be employed both as a mode selector and a sensor. In addition, simulation shows that five times bandwidth enhancement may be realized by selecting modes with the polymer fiber polished coupler. 相似文献

This paper reports on the results of investigations into the general regularities of deformation and fracture of fiber composite materials based on new heat-resistant polymer binders. Fiber composites based on these binders can find wide application in various fields of engineering. It is established that an increase in the loss modulus of the polymer matrix decreases the probability of formation of a brittle crack in the matrix at the fiber break and increases the time interval between breakages of adjacent fibers. This leads to retardation of the correlated breakage of the fibers in fiber composite materials under loading, i.e., to an increase in their strength and fracture toughness. The inference is made that the matrix of high-strength heat-resistant fiber composites with a high fracture toughness should possess not only a high elasticity (this has long been known) but also good dissipative properties over the entire temperature range of operation. 相似文献

Polymer solutions are complex fluids that show elasticity and deformation in response to shear flows. A fluorescence resonance
energy transfer (FRET) technique has been applied to measure the end-to-end distances of individual polymer molecules in Couette
flow, using end-tagged reversible-addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerised poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).
Real-time rheofluorescence measurements on these polymers in solution above the critical overlap concentration are reported
at several shear rates. The PMMA in Couette flow shows a systematic decrease in fluorescence, corresponding to a reduction
in end-to-end distance of the polymer molecules with shear exposure. Full reversibility of the fluorescence signal is observed
after the cessation of shear. These results show that polymer solution elasticity arises from compressive deformation of the
polymer molecules in Couette flow. At polymer concentrations above the critical overlap, the polymer molecules are restricted
by their neighbours and the net hydrodynamic forces are compressive rather than extensive. 相似文献

We report a novel method for enhancing near-field nanophotolithography using negative-refractive-index slabs. In our method,
a negative-refractive-index-metal film (NIF) is attached to the plane surface of an aplanatic solid immersion lens (SIL),
and the polymer layer is coated on the negative-refractive-index film. The intensity of the transmitted light is enhanced
by the surface plasmon polaritons excited in the NIF-polymer composite layer. The numerical results based on the vector diffraction
theory show that under the illumination of the SIL-NIF-polymer composite by a sharp focused radially polarized beam, the composite
configuration under investigation can substantially increase the spot intensity, suppress the spot expansion along the distance
from the interface, and improve the depth of focus, in comparison with conventional focusing systems using bare SILs. In the
case where a photoresist film is placed near the composite configuration, a subtle deep-etching pattern with high resolution
can be achieved. 相似文献
