三元Polymer溶液的粘弹性相分离模型

Viscoelastic Phase Separation Model for Ternary Polymer Solutions

Kenji Yoshimoto, Takashi Taniguchi

摘要:

当聚合物溶液发生粘弹相分离时,富含聚合物的相即使是次要相也会形成网状结构。这一独特的特征是由聚合物动力学引起的,聚合物动力学受到聚合物链的时间纠缠的约束。在过去的几十年里,粘弹性相分离的基本机制已经通过理论和实验得到了阐明,然而,还没有很好地理解粘弹性相分离是如何在多组分聚合物溶液中发生的。在这里,我们构建了一个新的粘弹性相分离模型的三元聚合物溶液,由聚合物,溶剂和非溶剂。我们的模拟结果表明,网络状结构形成的三元本体系统通过相分离机制类似于在二元聚合物溶液中观察到的。动力学的差异也被发现在溶剂中,其对聚合物的亲和力是类似的非溶剂,在相分离过程中的富聚合物和富水相之间自由移动。这些发现被认为是重要的理解的相分离机制的三元混合物经常用于制造的聚合物分离膜。

英文摘要:

When a polymer solution undergoes viscoelastic phase separation, the polymer-rich phase forms a network-like structure even if it is a minor phase. This unique feature is induced by polymer dynamics, which are constrained by the temporal entanglement of polymer chains. The fundamental mechanisms of viscoelastic phase separation have already been elucidated by theory and experiments over the past few decades; however, it is not yet well understood how viscoelastic phase separation occurs in multicomponent polymer solutions. Here, we construct a new viscoelastic phase separation model for ternary polymer solutions that consist of a polymer, solvent, and nonsolvent. Our simulation results reveal that a network-like structure is formed in the ternary bulk system through a phase separation mechanism similar to that observed in binary polymer solutions. A difference in dynamics is also found in that the solvent, whose affinity to the polymer is similar to that to the nonsolvent, moves freely between the polymer-rich and water-rich phases during phase separation. These findings are considered important for understanding the phase separation mechanism of ternary mixtures often used in the manufacturing of polymeric separation membranes.
