高分子体系中的相变和弛豫过程:以瓶刷聚合物为例

Phase Transitions and Relaxation Processes in Macromolecular Systems: The Case of Bottle-brush Polymers

Hsiao-Ping Hsu, Wolfgang Paul, Panagiotis E. Theodorakis, Kurt Binder

摘要:

作为大分子体系的结构、动力学和相行为相互作用的一个例子,本文重点讨论了具有刚性或柔性主链的瓶刷聚合物的问题。在具有链长$N_b$的聚合物上,具有链长$N$的侧链以接枝密度$σ$进行端接枝。由于这些聚合物(通常这些圆柱形大分子包含约10000个有效单体单元)的特征长度尺度和尺寸的多样性,对结构的理解是实验的挑战。但由于过大的弛豫时间(特别是在不良溶剂条件下),这种大分子也是模拟研究的挑战。模拟策略,以应对这一挑战,无论是使用蒙特卡罗和分子动力学方法,将简要讨论,典型的结果将被用来说明可以获得的见解。

英文摘要:

As an example for the interplay of structure, dynamics, and phase behavior of macromolecular systems, this article focuses on the problem of bottle-brush polymers with either rigid or flexible backbones. On a polymer with chain length $N_b$, side-chains with chain length $N$ are endgrafted with grafting density $σ$. Due to the multitude of characteristic length scales and the size of these polymers (typically these cylindrical macromolecules contain of the order of 10000 effective monomeric units) understanding of the structure is a challenge for experiment. But due to excessively large relaxation times (particularly under poor solvent conditions) such macromolecules also are a challenge for simulation studies. Simulation strategies to deal with this challenge, both using Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics Methods, will be briefly discussed, and typical results will be used to illustrate the insight that can be gained.
