Rheological Behaviors of Polymers with Nanoparticles Tethered at Each End
The nanoparticles at the ends can retard the polymer motion and influence the rheological behavior
where the moduli are less dependent on the frequency as the polymer chain shortens or the nanoparticle becomes large.
Abstract
The polymer with nanoparticles tethered at each end is a unique model for unraveling the effect of chain ends on the polymer dynamics. We investigated the rheological behavior of this kind of polymer by using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation. The effect of polymer lengths and nanoparticle radii on the complex moduli and viscosity was examined. The dependence of complex moduli on the frequency becomes less pronounced as the polymer is short or the nanoparticle is large. The shear thinning behavior was revealed for these systems
and the scaling exponent of complex viscosity with respect to the frequency was found to change from −1/2 to −3/4 as the polymer shortens or the nanoparticle enlarges. The rheological behavior was further explained by analyzing the mean square distance of nanoparticles. The simulation results were compared with the existing experimental finding
showing an agreement. The work provides information for understanding the chain end effect on polymer rheology.
