Stochastic dynamics of polymer brushes under shear deformation
1998
The dynamical properties of polymer brushes under shear deformation have been studied by computer simulation. Both the local and the global dynamic properties at various shear rates have been calculated. The distribution of orientational and translational mobilities of the different monomers along the chain have been obtained. It was shown that the local mobility of the brushes changes very slowly with increasing of shear rates up to the largest rates. Increase in grafting density leads to an increasingly step like dependence of the correlation times as a function of shear rate.
Synthesis of novel reactive coalescing agents and their application in a latex coating
2002
The syntheses and the performance of five glycidyl compounds as novel reactive coalescing agents are presented. The reactive coalescing agents were synthesized with moderate yields, structures were verified using spectroscopic methods, and the properties of glycidyl compounds such as boiling points and evaporation rates were measured. The applicability of five glycidyl compounds as reactive coalescing agents was tested in characterized carboxyl functional latex. Properties like pendulum hardness, gloss, and efficiency of the glycidyl compound to reduce the minimum film-formation temperature (MFFT) of the latex were measured from the cured latex films. The application test results were compa…
Compressed Polymer Brushes under the Shear Flow
1998
The structure and dynamics of two compressed polymer brushes under the shear deformation were investigated by the methods of stochastic dynamics. The shear was created by the move-ment of grafting planes with the constant velo-cities in opposite directions along the planes.
