摘要:

我们研究了在中间胶体体积分数和不同的聚合物浓度的胶体-聚合物混合物的粘弹性能,从而调整吸引力的相互作用。在聚合物浓度的检查范围内,样品范围从流体到凝胶。已经在液相中的粘弹性质显着改变时,接近凝胶化边界,表明簇和瞬态网络的形成。这是支持的密度波动,通过静态光散射和显微镜观察到的相关长度增加。同时,由动态光散射确定的关联函数完全衰减,表明没有动力学停滞。当聚合物浓度超过凝胶化边界时,流变性质再次发生定性变化,现在它们与胶体凝胶的形成一致。我们的实验结果,即凝胶化边界的位置以及弹性(存储)和粘性(损耗)模量,比较不同的理论模型。这些措施包括考虑逃逸时间以及预测的粘弹性模量的基础上的标度关系和模式耦合理论(MCT)。

英文摘要:

We investigated the viscoelastic properties of colloid-polymer mixtures at intermediate colloid volume fraction and varying polymer concentrations, thereby tuning the attractive interactions. Within the examined range of polymer concentrations, the samples ranged from fluids to gels. Already in the liquid phase the viscoelastic properties significantly changed when approaching the gelation boundary, indicating the formation of clusters and transient networks. This is supported by an increasing correlation length of the density fluctuations, observed by static light scattering and microscopy. At the same time, the correlation function determined by dynamic light scattering completely decays, indicating the absence of dynamical arrest. Upon increasing the polymer concentration beyond the gelation boundary, the rheological properties changed qualitatively again, now they are consistent with the formation of colloidal gels. Our experimental results, namely the location of the gelation boundary as well as the elastic (storage) and viscous (loss) moduli, are compared to different theoretical models. These include consideration of the escape time as well as predictions for the viscoelastic moduli based on scaling relations and Mode Coupling Theories (MCT).
