polymer网络统计力学本构理论中的链断裂

Chain breaking in the statistical mechanical constitutive theory of polymer networks

Michael R. Buche, Meredith N. Silberstein

摘要:

弹性体由于其大的失效应变、低密度和可定制的刚度和韧性而用于广泛的应用中。弹性体的力学行为主要来源于聚合物链底层网络的熵弹性。弹性体在大变形下经历聚合物网络内的键断裂。链的这种断裂损坏网络,可导致材料失效,并且可用作能量耗散机制。在可逆键的情况下,断裂的链可以重新形成并修复网络中的损伤。如果可逆键是动态的,链会不断地断裂和重组,形成一个短暂的网络。一个基本的本构理论的开发,这些聚合物网络的力学模型。一个统计力学推导进行产生一个框架,需要在一个任意的单链模型(哈密尔顿)和输出:单链的机械响应,断裂和重整动力学,链在网络中的平衡分布,和偏微分方程的变形耦合网络的演变。利用宏观热力学本构理论,将这一统计力学框架引入到连续介质的尺度中,得到了柯西应力的本构关系。介绍了势补充自由连接链($u$ FJC)模型,并对其力学响应和断裂动力学进行了参数化研究。这个单链模型,然后实施本构框架内,我们专门和应用在两个示例性的情况下:multinetwork弹性体的机械响应和不可逆的故障,和双交联凝胶的机械响应。在提供了一般本构模型的参数研究后,我们将其应用于具有可逆金属配位交联的水凝胶。

英文摘要:

Elastomers are used in a wide range of applications because of their large strain to failure, low density, and tailorable stiffness and toughness. The mechanical behavior of elastomers derives mainly from the entropic elasticity of the underlying network of polymer chains. Elastomers under large deformation experience bonds breaking within the polymer network. This breaking of chains damages the network, can lead to material failure, and can be utilized as an energy dissipation mechanism. In the case of reversible bonds, broken chains may reform and heal the damage in the network. If the reversible bonds are dynamic, chains constantly break and reform and create a transient network. A fundamental constitutive theory is developed to model the mechanics of these polymer networks. A statistical mechanical derivation is conducted to yield a framework that takes in an arbitrary single-chain model (a Hamiltonian) and outputs: the single-chain mechanical response, the breaking and reforming kinetics, the equilibrium distribution of chains in the network, and the partial differential equations governing the deformation-coupled network evolution. This statistical mechanical framework is then brought into the continuum scale by using macroscopic thermodynamic constitutive theory to obtain a constitutive relation for the Cauchy stress. The potential-supplemented freely jointed chain ($u$FJC) model is introduced, and a parametric study of its mechanical response and breaking kinetics is provided. This single-chain model is then implemented within the constitutive framework, which we specialize and apply in two exemplary cases: the mechanical response and irreversible breakdown of a multinetwork elastomer, and the mechanical response of a dual crosslink gel. After providing a parametric study of the general constitutive model, we apply it to a hydrogel with reversible metal-coordination crosslinks.
