Effect of Chain Polydispersity on the Elasticity of Disordered Polymer Networks

Density distribution of polymer chain segments near a nonadsorbing

We have presented a generalization to fractal spaces of the theory of single-chain polymer adsorption, obtaining non-trivial bounds on the cross-over exponent valid

and obtained, via a general loop expansion, the physical tricritical laws for polymer solutions. We have calculated the square radius :ll2 of a chain in. solution,

The scattering function and radius of gyration of an ideal polymer network are calculated depending on the strength of the bonds that form the crosslinks..

was 7~ # 0 in the mean field case, I-e- the Gaussian approximation of section 3. In terms of.. It is interesting to note that the correlation function exponent determines the blob

Generally speaking, the partition function equation (5) gives the complete statistical mechan- ical description of the deformed lightly cross-linked polymer network.. Nevertheless,

The mo;t efficient way to check the hairpin conformation con;I;t; in mea,uring the chain dimen;ion; in the direction, parallel (fl) and perpendicular (£) to the nematic director..

Thus the binary collisions play a prevailing role in a polymeric coil; if B = 0 then the contribution in all the characteristics of the chain from these collisions vanishes
