How super-tough gels break

Itamar Kolvin, John M. Kolinski, Jian Ping Gong, Jay Fineberg

英文摘要:

Fracture of highly stretched materials challenges our view of how things break. We directly visualize rupture of tough double-network (DN) gels at >50\% strain. During fracture, crack tip shapes obey a $x\sim y^{1.6}$ power-law, in contrast to the parabolic profile observed in low-strain cracks. A new length-scale $\ell$ emerges from the power-law; we show that $\ell$ scales directly with the stored elastic energy, and diverges when the crack velocity approaches the shear wave speed. Our results show that DN gels undergo brittle fracture, and provide a testing ground for large-strain fracture mechanics.
