无序和链硬化对柔性polymer网络弹性的影响

Effects of disorder and chain stiffening on the elasticity of flexible polymer networks

Christiane Caroli, Anaël Lemaître

摘要:

我们研究如何分布的轮廓长度和高拉伸硬化的个别链段影响的宏观剪切模量的柔性聚合物凝胶,使用二维数值模型,其中聚合物段形成三角形网络和无序引入通过改变它们的轮廓长度。我们表明,在相关的参数范围内:(i)的非仿射贡献的剪切模量是可以忽略不计的,即玻恩近似是令人满意的;(ii)的剪切模量是占主导地位的贡献来自平衡链张力。此外,在节点处的机械平衡引起链段的端到端距离和轮廓长度之间的特定相关性,这必须被适当地考虑以构建链压力和剪切模量的合理估计。

英文摘要:

We examine how the distribution of contour lengths and the high-stretch stiffening of individual chain segments affect the macroscopic shear modulus of flexible polymer gels, using a 2D numerical model, in which polymer segments form a triangular network and disorder is introduced by varying their contour lengths. We show that in the relevant parameter range: (i) the non-affine contribution to the shear modulus is negligible, i.e. the Born approximation is satisfactory; (ii) the shear modulus is dominated by the contribution originating from equilibrium chain tensions. Moreover, mechanical equilibration at the nodes induces specific correlations between the end-to-end distances and contour lengths of chain segments, which must be properly accounted for to construct reasonable estimates of chain pressure and shear modulus.
