Journal ArticleDOI
Connection between polymer molecular weight, density, chain dimensions, and melt viscoelastic properties
TL;DR: In this article, it was found that the mean square unperturbed end-to-end distance 0, the density ρ and molecular weight M are related to the plabteau modulus, G 0, G N 0 ∞ { 0 ρ/M} 3, a finding in accord with that of Ronca.
Journal ArticleDOI
The gyroid: A new equilibrium morphology in weakly segregated diblock copolymers
Damian Hajduk,Paul E. Harper,Sol M. Gruner,Christian C. Honeker,Gia Kim,Edwin L. Thomas,Lewis J. Fetters +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the identification of a new equilibrium microdomain morphology in an intermediate to weakly segregated diblock copolymer melt, which belongs to the cubic space group Ia3d and possesses a bicontinuous cubic microstructure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of frictional forces between solid surfaces bearing polymer brushes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the lateral forces between sliding brush-bearing surfaces and found a striking reduction in the effective friction coefficients between the surfaces to below their detection limit (μb < 0.001), for contact pressures of around 1 MPa and sliding velocities from zero to 450 nm s−1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer‐Based Photonic Crystals
Alexander C. Edrington,Augustine Urbas,Peter Derege,Cinti X. Chen,Timothy M. Swager,Nikos Hadjichristidis,M. Xenidou,Lewis J. Fetters,John D. Joannopoulos,Yoel Fink,Edwin L. Thomas +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the development of polymers as 1D photonic crystals and the activities in self-assembled block copolymers as a promising platform material for new photonic crystal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Packing Length Influence in Linear Polymer Melts on the Entanglement, Critical, and Reptation Molecular Weights
TL;DR: In this article, the entanglement molecular weight for a polymer melt, Me, is related by a power law to p, the packing length of the polymer species, and the observed and predicted values of Mr for two species, 1,4-polybutadiene and polyisobutylene, have been found to agree, within the uncertainties, with the projected values.
