Models of Irregular Hyperbranched Polymers: Topological Disorder and Mechanical Response
Authors:Thorsten Koslowski  Aurel Jurjiu  Alexander Blumen
Abstract:Summary: We study the impact of topological disorder on the mechanical response of hyperbranched macromolecules from a theoretical and numerical perspective. The polymer models are generated using a bond switching algorithm, and the emerging systems are described within the Zimm and Rouse pictures of macromolecular dynamics. The topological disorder is manifest in the frequency‐dependent dynamic moduli, equation image . These are clearly distinct from that of regular hyperbranched fractals of the same size, and they do not obey simple scaling rules. The dynamic moduli reflect the short‐range order inherent in the model, and we thus suggest that the extent of disorder in branched tree‐like polymers may be well‐estimated experimentally using equation image .
