We study theoretically the conformation and force-extension curve of a semiflexible polymer in a spatially uniform ac electric field. The polymer backbone minimizes its energy by aligning along one of two orientations parallel to the field. In a strong ac field, hairpin kinks develop between regions of opposite alignment. These kinks are mathematically described as sine-Gordon solitons. We calculate the equation of state of the one-dimensional kink gas, which yields the force-extension curve of the polymer. A sufficiently strong ac field causes the polymer to extend spontaneously to almost its full contour length. The theory is applied to recent experiments on dielectrophoretic stretching of DNA. 相似文献

We implement large-scale Molecular-Dynamics (MD) simulations which incorporate hydrodynamic interactions via the inclusion of explicit Lennard-Jones solvent to examine the behaviour of polymer chains in sieving media. We begin by examining the friction coefficients of polymers in long-lived states responsible for inducing length-dependent mobility, i.e., allowing separation of polymers (or polyelectrolytes) by molecular weight. In particular, the conformations we examine occur in devices which utilize arrays of molecular obstacles or dilute solutions of polymers. We compare the results from our MD simulations with expressions from macroscopic hydrodynamics for four specific cases: i) a random coil excluded-volume Zimm polymer, ii) a rigid polymer moving perpendicular to its major axis iii) a rigid polymer moving parallel to its major axis and iv) a rigid polymer, folded at different points along its contour. We also examine the behaviour of the friction coefficient of a fully flexible molecule pulled by its middle monomer as a function of an applied force F and show that there are several distinct frictional regimes.PACS:

The phase morphology of multi-component polymer blends is governed by the interfacial interactions of its components. We discuss here the domain morphology in thin films of model binary and ternary polymer blends containing polystyrene, poly(methyl metacrylate), and poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS, PMMA, PVP). When sandwiched between two non-polar surfaces, characteristic lateral phase morphologies are observed after the film formation by spin-coating. We discuss here two techniques, by which hierarchical lateral structures in polymer films can be made. The first method makes use of two simultaneously occurring interfacial instabilities. The second technique employs the effect of a variation of the enthalpic interaction parameters in a ternary polymer mixture on its lateral polymer phase morphology. 相似文献

This paper theoretically studies the free energy and conformational entropy of a long
polymer threading a long nanopore (n0/N \ge 0.1) on external electric
field. The polymer expanded model is built in this paper, that is, a
single long polymer chain with N monomers (each of size a) threading
a pore
with n0 monomers can be regarded as polymer with N+n_{0} monomers
translocating a 2-dimension hole embedded in membrane. A theoretical
approach is presented which explicitly takes into account the nucleation
theory. Our calculations imply that, the structure of polymer changes
more acutely than other situation, while its leading monomer reaches the second
vacuum and its end monomer escapes the first vacuum. And it is also shown
that the length scale of polymer and pore play a very important role for
polymer translocation dynamics. The present model predicts that the
translocation time depends on the chemical potential gradient and the
property of the solvent on sides of pore to some extent. 相似文献

We have studied the conformation change of a flexible linear polymer chain near the critical point of a binary liquid mixture using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, which measured the hydrodynamic radius of the chains. Our results indicate that as the critical temperature (Tc) is approached, the chain size decreases. The polymer attains its most compact conformation when the correlation length of the critical fluctuations becomes comparable to the coil size. At very close to Tc, the polymer reexpands dramatically. To our knowledge, this is the first experimental evidence supporting the prediction of Brochard and de Gennes that a polymer chain will collapse and subsequently reswell on approaching Tc. 相似文献

The charge injection from oxidized metal electrodes into conjugated polymer thin films is calculated and compared with ideal metal/polymer interfaces. The presence of the oxide layer has a major influence on the magnitude of the tunneling current as well as on its behavior with applied voltage. It was also found that the fitting of the simple Fowler-Nordheim model for triangular barriers to the obtained current-voltage data from the oxidized interfaces leads to incorrect values of the potential barrier height at the metal/polymer interface. Prediction and its consequences on charge injection control in organic devices are discussed. 相似文献

It is shown that methylmethacrylate polymerization in frontal mode in the presence of a polymer inhibitor is realized in the lower part of the conversion profile. This region is depleted of polymer inhibitors due to its diffusion into upper layers of the sample. The remaining unreacted polymer inhibitor is contained as an “immured” microphase which is inaccessible for active sites. 相似文献

The method and results of measuring the shear elastic modulus of a rubberlike polymer by the deformation of a plane elastic layer are described. For shear deformations not exceeding 0.5 of the layer thickness, the shear modulus is constant and its value is in agreement with the value determined by pressing a rigid ball against the polymer layer. For deformations exceeding 0.5 of the layer thickness, the stress-strain dependence becomes nonlinear. The coefficient of shear viscosity is determined from the shear wave form generated by focused ultrasound in a homogeneous polymer sample. 相似文献

We present a general criterion for determining the dynamic instability of a thin polymer film that is strongly confined to a substrate. When such a polymer film is heated above its glass transition temperature, it dewets from the substrate by a spinodal dewetting scenario, in which the onset of the instability is governed by dispersion force and residual thermal stress. It turns out that the thermal stress plays an important role when there is a special interaction between a polymer and a substrate. 相似文献

Long chain polymers owe many of their properties to the structural arrangements of their molecules and are extensively used
for many industrial and applied sciences. One of such application is their perspective use in the field of solid-state nuclear
track detectors. However they are profoundly influenced by low LET radiations exposure and new structural arrangements may
emerge. CR-39 is one of the most popular polymeric track detectors, however its aliphatic nature restricts its applications.
Thus in the present investigations the damage densities produced by solar radiations to the polymer have been estimated by
analyzing the structural, physical and etching properties of the polymer. The polymer is found to be highly sensitive towards
solar radiations and great changes in physical and structural properties of polymer have been observed. The sensitivity of
the polymer has been found to decrease by 83.40% during eight months.

Simha, together with Frisch and Eirich, was among the first to realize that in energetic interaction with a surface a flexible polymer chain would be under a major conformational constraint which could be analyzed by solving a random walk (diffusional) problem near a barrier. These results stimulated more work, and today we have a fairly good knowledge of the factors which determine polymer adsorption from very dilute solution. Conformational problems arise also when more concentrated systems are used and it has become apparent that as concentration increases the surface phase will, more and more, be scaled by the root mean square diameter of the undeformed macromolecule. One can view the presence of an energetically attractive interface as creating a sink for macromolecules. The closer a polymer solution is to its Θ point, the more easily the polymer in solution can enter the sink and the stronger will be the extent of adsorption. The presence of an interface can thus be seen as a means to produce a phase separation in a polymer system which would otherwise be stable. Coatings of adsorbed polymers over colloidal particles create “macromolecular” solutions, where the “macromolecule” is the colloid particle with its adsorbed coat. This causes polymer segment/polymer segment contacts to dominate the encounter energetically. Hence, the solution behavior of the coated colloid becomes reminiscent of the solution behavior of the polymer in the coat. Stabilization by adsorbed polymer layers derives from converting the original solubility characteristics of the colloid, from what they were, essentially to those of the polymer being used. 相似文献

The mutual effects of the conformations of a star polymer in simple shear flow and the deformation of the solvent flow field
are investigated by a hybrid mesoscale simulation technique. We characterize the flow field near the star polymer as a function
of its functionality (arm number) f . A strong screening of the imposed flow is found inside the star polymer, which increases with increasing f . To elucidate the importance of hydrodynamic screening, we compare results for hydrodynamic and random solvents. The dependence
of the polymer orientation angle on the Weissenberg number shows a power law behavior with super-universal exponent --independent
of hydrodynamic and excluded-volume interactions. In contrast, the polymer rotation frequency changes qualitatively when hydrodynamic
interactions are switched on. 相似文献

Luminescence kinetics of chromophores randomly attached to an isolated flexible polymer chain is studied. In the static case, when the polymer chain does not change its conformation during the donor excited-state lifetime, analytical equations are derived for the luminescence kinetics of both ideal and nonideal polymer chains. The conditions are formulated when the inhomogeneous broadening should be taken into account. For the dynamic case, the diffusion and hopping mechanisms of the polymer motion are studied. 相似文献

Employing mass conservation, time-resolved dewetting experiments of thin polymer films allow to determine in real time the
dynamic contact angle and the slippage length. Moreover, based on a systematic variation of interfacial properties of a polymer
brush, dewetting makes it possible to calculate the force it needs to extract a single polymer chain from its own melt.
In the visco-elastic regime close to the glass transition, the temperature and molecular weight dependence of the relaxation
time of residual stresses resulting from film preparation by spin-coating can be obtained from the evolution of the shape
of the dewetting rim.
The presented examples demonstrate that dewetting represents a powerful approach for a sensitive characterization of rheological,
frictional and interfacial properties of thin polymer films. 相似文献

A study is made of the photodegradation kinetics of luminescence and absorption of cadmium sulfide nanocrystals incorporated
into a plastic polymer matrix. The reversibility effect of photodegradation under mechanical deformation (stretching) of a
polymer film is revealed. It is suggested that the photodegradation reversibility is related to the extraction of electrons,
photoexcited in nanocrystals, from deep-lying traps in the surrounding polymer matrix during its deformation.
