高分子链在微通道剪切流中的迁移机制及浓度的影响

提出了剪切流中高分子链在微通道内的迁移机制.该机制采用珠-簧链模型表示高分子链,高分子链受剪切作用而被拉伸,相邻珠子之间的流体力学相互作用产生了对称的扰动流场,由于在通道壁面附近对称的流场被破坏,壁面与高分子链间的流体力学相互作用使高分子远离壁面,在强受限时,这种壁面诱导的流体力学相互作用会被屏蔽掉.利用耗散粒子动力学数值模拟了高分子链在微通道压力流中的迁移行为.数值模拟结果表明,在受限较弱时,高分子链向远离壁面的方向迁移,并随着流场增强,远离壁面的趋势越强;在受限较强时,高分子链不会发生远离壁面的行为.实验研究了长链高分子λ-DNA在壁面附近的迁移行为,实验结果及模拟结果与迁移机制预测的结果相吻合,验证了迁移机制的正确性.高分子链浓度会影响高分子链的迁移行为,当高分子链浓度较大时,高分子链在通道宽度方向不会发生迁移现象,意味着随着浓度的增大,壁面与高分子链间的流体力学相互作用会逐渐被屏蔽.     

双分散高分子薄膜中短链对长链缠结和动力学的影响

采用Monte Carlo微观模拟结合原始路径分析的方法,研究了分子量双分散的高分子薄膜中短链的质量分数对长链的缠结和动力学行为的影响.模拟发现,当短链的质量分数较大时,薄膜内缠结点之间的关联性较低,缠结点易于被解开,长链动力学受到链受限程度的控制,随着膜厚的减小单调减慢;当短链的质量分数较小时,薄膜内缠结点之间的关联性较高,缠结点不易被解开,缠结点数目和关联性共同导致长链动力学随膜厚的非单调变化.模拟结果为明晰分子量分布对高分子薄膜中链缠结和动力学行为的影响规律提供了有益参考.

两嵌段共聚高分子链通过薄膜上纳米孑孔隙输运的研究

针对两嵌段高分子链的跨膜输运过程,分别给出与不同输运次序相对戍的高分子链的自由能,进而通过求解Fokker-Planck方程并在不同条件下对平均首次通过时间进行了数值计算.计算结果表明,当共聚高分子链由良溶剂区向不良溶剂区输运时,不能发生线团一链滴转变的链首先输运总是有利于整个高分子链的输运.而在给定输运次序的情况下,化学势、线团一链滴转变、共聚链的组成以及输运速率等因素对输运时间可产生显著影响.相关研究结果可为调控实际生物高分子链的输运时间提供可能的理论线索.     

支链对高分子链导热性能影响的分子动力学模拟

采用非平衡分子动力学(NEMD)方法模拟了立构规整的乙丙交替共聚物(alternating isotactic PEP)和聚乙烯(PE)分子链的热传导过程,研究了支链对高分子链导热率的影响,并通过分析均方回转半径、径向分布函数以及均方位移与导热率的关系,进一步探讨了高分子链中热输运的微观机理.通过比较发现,主链上含支链的高分子链导热率较低;均方回转半径显示,高分子链的构象越稳定,导热率越高;径向分布函数显示,主链上碳原子分布越紧密,导热率越低;均方位移分析结果表明,主链上的支链使高分子链中的原子运动加剧,从而导致导热率降低.     

弱电场驱动下高分子链在周期管道内输运的模拟研究

采用Langevin动力学方法模拟研究了弱电场驱动下高分子链在无限长周期管道中的输运过程. 管道由长度相等的α和β两部分周期排列而成, 其中高分子链与α管道间存在相互吸引作用, 而与β管道间存在纯排斥作用. 模拟结果表明, 高分子链在输运过程中存在明显的受限阶段, 其逃离受限的方式与管道宽度有关且满足不同的规律. 对于窄管道, 高分子链在输运过程中呈直线伸展构型且运动具有“蛇爬行”特征. 高分子链逃离受限过程伴随着整条链的运动, 从而导致迁移率随高分子链长呈周期变化, 而且在迁移率极值位置, 高分子链投影长度与管道半周期之间存在简单的整数倍关系. 对于宽管道, 高分子链在输运过程中出现弯折构型且运动具有“蠕虫运动”特征. 当链长比较长时, 高分子链可通过链前端部分的伸长逃离受限, 从而导致迁移率与高分子链长度无关. 模拟结果可能有助于利用周期管道对不同长度的高分子链进行分离及可控输运.     

流场驱动高分子链迁移穿过微通道的耗散粒子动力学模拟

利用耗散粒子动力学模拟方法研究了高分子链在流场驱动作用下迁移穿过微通道过程中的链构象变化和动力学行为.在足够大的流场力驱动作用下,高分子链在沿着流场方向逐渐被拉伸,从而能够穿过管径小于其自身尺寸的微通道.耗散粒子动力学模拟结果表明高分子链的迁移过程主要分为3个步骤:(1)在流场驱动作用下,高分子链漂移并逐渐靠近微通道入口;(2)高分子链逐渐调整自身构象,并使其部分进入微通道;(3)高分子链成功穿过微通道.同时,模拟还发现当高分子链尺寸大于微通道细管道管径时,高分子链穿过微通道所需的平均迁移时间随着流量的增加而逐渐减小.此外,为了研究高分子链刚性对高分子链穿过微通道的影响,模型中还引入了蠕虫状高分子链模型.模拟结果发现,高分子链的链刚性越强,其迁移穿过微通道的时间越长.     

基于蠕虫链模型的半刚性单链高分子的结构因子

生物高分子、液晶高分子和共轭高分子都是具有半刚性性质的一维线型链状分子.半刚性高分子的链长与高分子的持久长度在同一数量级,蠕虫链是最好的用来研究这类半刚性高分子统计性质的理论模型之一.其特性表现为高分子键的取向极大地影响统计行为,同时链的不可伸长性约束了高分子链的构象.这些性质可以通过结构因子的分析来开展研究.结构因子是描述体系在各个尺度上密度关联的物理量,是联系散射实验和高分子理论研究的桥梁,既可以通过散射实验测量,也可以通过理论上对链模型对应的传播子积分得到.由于蠕虫链模型的构象同时依赖位置和取向自由度,因而严格求解其传播子非常困难.这严重限制了蠕虫链模型场论理论的发展,特别是限制了应用高斯涨落理论进行有序结构的稳定性分析.本文综述了广泛采用的蠕虫链模型结构因子的渐近解和经验公式,并着重介绍近年来严格求解结构因子的最新进展.通过分析结构因子在不同波数区域上的标度规律,展示了蠕虫链模型的多尺度特点,以及其他经典的高分子链模型的关系.

采用PERM(pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method)算法,研究了吸附在界面附近的紧密高分子链力学行为.发现当界面的吸附能比较大时,紧密高分子链从紧贴于吸附界面到逐渐远离的过程中,其外形会经历4种典型的变化.同时紧密高分子链的尺寸大小如/N、xy/N、z/N,形状参数<δ*>,热力学性质如每个键的平均自由能A/N,平均相互作用能/N等,甚至所受外力的大小都会同时做出相应的变化,其出现变化的位置也一致.特别是随着紧密高分子链离开吸附界面的过程中,作用于高分子链上的外力明显出现几个力学平台,这与实验得到的结果完全一致.同时还研究了弱吸附能的情况,在这种情况下实验是很难进行的.

Controlling optical properties and interchain interactions in semiconducting polymers by encapsulation in periodic nanoporous silicas with different pore sizes

The photophysics of MEH-PPV incorporated into the pores of periodic silica hosts has been investigated in an effort to understand the role played by interchain aggregation and chain morphology in polaron production. In this work, guest/host interactions were used to incorporate MEH-PPV into the straight, homogeneous pores of hexagonal surfactant- or polymer-templated mesoporous silicas of varying pore diameters. Polarized photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy were then used to investigate the polymers' environment within the silica pores. Experiments exploiting luminescence peak shifts and depolarization indicate that depending on the pore size and preparation conditions, the alignment and packing of the polymer chains within the pores could be controlled. Samples could be produced with isolated chains, interacting straight chains, and coiled interacting chains. The sub-bandgap absorption by polarons was then measured with photoinduced absorption as a function of pore size. Small-diameter pores that allowed single polymer chains to reside within the pore showed little evidence of interchain contact and had a low polaron yield. Increasing the number of polymer chains within the pore increased the polaron yield. Finally, when the pores were large enough that the chains could coil, strong polaron absorption was observed, indicative of a further increase in polaron yield or an increase in polaron lifetime. The polaron absorption spectra also sharpen and red shift with increasing pore diameter, suggesting that excitons may migrate to lower energy polymer segments in samples where polymer chains are both coiled and interacting.     

Mathematical Modeling of the Long‐Chain Branch Structure of Polyolefins Made with Two Metallocene Catalysts: An Algebraic Solution

A mathematical model was developed to describe the populations of polymer chains containing different numbers of long‐chain branches (LCBs) made with a combination of two single‐site catalysts. One of the catalysts produces only linear chains (linear‐catalyst) and the other produces linear and long‐branched chains (LCB‐catalyst). The model shows that when the selectivity for macromer formation of the linear‐catalyst is the same as that of the LCB‐catalyst, it is not possible to maximize the number of LCB per chain, even though the number of LCB per 1 000 carbon atoms (C) can be maximized. On the other hand, if the selectivity for macromer formation of the linear‐catalyst is higher than that of the LCB‐catalyst, both LCB/1 000 C and LCB/chain pass through maxima when varying the fraction of the linear‐catalyst in the reactor. More importantly, polymer populations with different numbers of LCB per chain will reach their maximum values at different ratios of linear‐catalyst to LCB‐catalyst, thus permitting the maximization of individual polymer populations in the mixture.

剪切作用下纳米粘土对LDPE熔体粘弹响应的影响

以LDPE/EVA/纳米粘土复合体系为研究模型,考察了剪切作用下,分散良好的纳米粘土对聚合物基体熔体稳态及瞬态粘弹响应的影响.发现剪切作用下,纳米粘土增加了聚合物熔体粘弹特性对剪切速率、剪切应变及剪切作用史的依赖性,改变了相应的依赖关系.稳态剪切时,纳米粘土的加入使体系第一法向应力差(N1)在低剪切速率区变为负值,而在高剪切速率区N1与粘土的含量无关;同时就瞬态剪切应力及N1的应变依赖关系而言,复合体系明显不同于聚合物基体;预剪切对聚合物基体瞬态粘弹响应几乎没有影响,而当纳米粘土的加入量大于3wt%后,与未经预剪切的样品相比较,经预剪切的复合体系的瞬态剪切应力值、应力过冲程度以及稳态剪切应力值均明显下降,且预剪切前后复合体系达到稳态时其瞬态剪切应力差值随纳米粘土含量的增高而线性增加.此外,纳米粘土的添加对聚合物熔体受剪切作用的非线性粘弹响应存在影响.复合体系熔体呈现特异非线性粘弹响应,其缘由被认为是由于纳米粘土在聚合物基体中剥离分散,或聚合物分子链插层于粘土片层间,形成局部有序结构,受剪切作用而排列取向.     

Rational surface design for molecular dynamics simulations of porous polymer adsorbent media

The construction and use of nonflat agarose surfaces in a simulation box, together with the employment of criteria for the immobilization of a set of dextran polymer chains on the nonflat agarose surfaces whose mathematical physics is compatible with that of the criteria used for the immobilization of the same set of dextran polymer chains on flat agarose surfaces, are shown to generate, through the use of molecular dynamics simulations whose simulation box has linear dimensions along the lateral directions that are the same when flat and nonflat agarose surfaces are used, dextran porous polymer structures whose pore sizes at the outermost surface and in the vicinity of the outermost surface of the porous medium can be controlled by an indirect manner through the variation of the parameters that characterize the nonflat surface. The use of a nonflat surface for the generation of desired large pores requires only a small or modest increase in the number of solvent molecules in the simulation box, while the use of a flat surface for the construction of the same desired large pores requires significant increases in the size of the linear dimensions of the flat surface. This increases so substantially the number of solvent molecules that the computational loads become intractable. The results in this work show that through the use of nonflat surfaces porous dextran polymer layers having pores of desired sizes can be effectively constructed, and this approach could be used for the design and construction of polymer-based porous adsorbent media that could effectively facilitate the transport and adsorption of an adsorbate biomolecule of interest that must be separated from a mixture of components. A useful definition about the properties that a porous polymer structure must have in order to become, for an adsorbate biomolecule of interest of known molecular size, a useful adsorbent medium, is presented and is used to (1) evaluate the porous polymer structures generated through the employment of different nonflat surface models and (2) determine and select the nonflat surface model from a set of nonflat surface models that is effective in producing promising porous structures. Then a procedure is presented by which a set of porous polymer media is generated through the use of the selected nonflat surface model, and the desired porous structure from this set is determined and could be considered to be used for the transport and immobilization of the selected affinity groups/ligands and the subsequent transport and adsorption of the desired to be separated adsorbate.     

Reversible swelling as a strategy in the development of smart membranes from electrospun polyvinyl alcohol nanofiber mats

This work presents an electrospun nanofibrous membrane for water treatment, designed to reduce its pores through polymer swelling to retain contaminants, and after that, reopening them for easy cleaning. It consists of a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) mat crosslinked with a natural agent to avoid water solubility but allow a high swelling of its nanofibers. Then, when the membrane is brought into contact with water, a transitory state occurs during which nanofibers increase their diameter 68%, closing the pores between them. For studying the swelling reversal effect, distilled water filtering was used observing a decrease in the permeate flow over time until a steady state is reached. This phenomenon is explained by the closure of pores, and it is described with a fouling model widely used in the literature. Thanks to this decrease in the pore size, the membrane achieves a rejection rate much higher than conventional PVA electrospun membranes, being capable to retain 20 nm nanoparticles with a rejection rate up to 99%. Swelling is reversible through a simple drying process, which allows reopening the pores and cleaning the fouling easily. Both the membrane and its use strategy extend the capacity of electrospun mats in a sustainable way.
