A note to the simplification in description of some molecular-based polymer models
Kharlamov, Alexander ; Filip, Petr
One type of integral is frequently met in various description of behaviour of polymer materials through molecular-based models starting with the classical Doi-Edwards one. The integrand in this integral for which an integrated region represents a solid angle is formed by a product of a unit vector (pointed at an element of this region) with a deformation gradient tensor. This product is raised to an exponent that is not usually an integer. The aim of this contribution is to derive substantially simplified expression for this integral respecting high accuracy of an approximation.
A note to the tube theory
Kharlamov, Alexander ; Filip, Petr ; Švrčinová, Petra
The classical Doi-Edwards (DE) model represents a basic issue for tube theories. The model describes dynamics of polymer strands between entanglements and predicts stress in linear polymers. In this contribution there is considered the dynamics of the whole molecules within the same tube picture. When the molecule end-to-end vector is considered as a Hookean spring the damping function shows weaker thinning. The presented model describes one of the possible mechanisms leading to weaker damping exhibited by branched polymers.
