Effects of constraint release on the dynamics of entangled linear polymer melts

Abstract: The mechanism of constraint release for an entangled linear chain of polystyrene diffusing by reptation is emphasized, dissolving large N chains in a matrix of shorter N, chains of the same species.Dynamic shear measurements allow us to define an average relaxation time f(NJVt) for the relaxation of the large chains, from which we derive another average relaxation time for the tube modification induced by constraint release. We find that, according to the Klein and Graessley theories, the tube could be conside… Show more

“…where k E is the constant of proportionality and generally lies between 3.3 and 3.7, except for extremely broad blends, for which higher values are observed [13][14][15][16]. is often taken as 3.4, since this is the value usually obtained for most linear polymers investigated.…”

“…формулу (1.19)) Параметр Е, кото рый не входит в соотношения (2.22), также может быть представлен степенной функцией. Показатель степени, оцененный по зависимости времени релак сации сверхмедленных релаксационных процессов от молекулярного веса [43], совпадает с показателем для параметра В Таким образом, безразмерные величины являются универсальными, не зависящими от химического строения полимеров функциями безразмерного параметра Экспериментально оценивается зависимость динамического модуля и ха рактеристических величин от концентрации полимера с и длины макромоле кулы М. Величины В и как функции с и М в области больших концентраций, могут быть представлены как функции одного аргумента. Действительно, по скольку рассматриваемые кинетические ограничения на движение макромо лекулы связаны с геометрией системы, то единственными параметрами яв ляются в этом случае число макромолекул в единице объема и среднеквад ратичное расстояние между концами макромолекулы № 5] ДИНАМИКА МАКРОМОЛЕКУЛ 115…”
