超软胶体的稳态沉降

Steady state sedimentation of ultrasoft colloids

Sunil P. Singh, Gerhard Gompper, Roland G. Winkler

摘要:

超软胶体-星形聚合物-暴露在一个统一的外力场的结构和动力学性质进行了分析,应用多粒子碰撞动力学方法,混合粗颗粒介观模拟方法,捕捉热波动和远程流体动力学相互作用。在弱场极限下,星形聚合物的结构几乎不变,然而在中间状态下,回转回转半径减小,特别是横向于沉降方向。在强磁场的极限下,回转半径随磁场强度的增加而增加。相应地,沉降系数随着场强的增加而增加,通过最大值并在高场强下再次减小。最大值取决于星形聚合物的官能度。高场强导致对称性破缺与尾随,强烈拉伸的聚合物臂和紧凑的星形聚合物体。在弱场线性响应区,沉降系数遵循星形聚合物在官能度和臂长方面的标度关系。

英文摘要:

The structural and dynamical properties of ultra-soft colloids - star polymers - exposed to a uniform external force field are analyzed applying the multiparticle collision dynamics approach, a hybrid coarse-grain mesoscale simulation approach, which captures thermal fluctuations and long-range hydrodynamic interactions. In the weak field limit, the structure of the star polymer is nearly unchanged, however in an intermediate regime, the radius of gyration decreases, in particular transverse to the sedimentation direction. In the limit of a strong field, the radius of gyration increases with field strength. Correspondingly, the sedimentation coefficient increases with increasing field strength, passes through a maximum and decreases again at high field strengths. The maximum value depends on the functionality of the star polymer. High field strengths lead to symmetry breaking with trailing, strongly stretched polymer arms and a compact star polymer body. In the weak field linear response regime, the sedimentation coefficient follows the scaling relation of a star polymer in terms of functionality and arm length.
