Entanglement-Controlled Subdiffusion of Nanoparticles within Concentrated Polymer Solutions

Journal Article Guo, Hongyu ; Bourret, Gilles ; Lennox, R Bruce ; ... - Phys. Rev. Lett.

We describe x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) experiments tracking the motion of gold nanoparticles within solutions of high-molecular-weight polystyrene. Over displacements from nanometers to tens of nanometers, the particles undergo subdiffusive motion that is dictated by the temporal evolution of the entangled polymer mesh in the immediate vicinity of the particles. The results thus provide a novel microscopic dynamical characterization of this key structural property of polymers and more broadly demonstrate the capability of XPCS-based microrheology to interrogate heterogeneous mechanical environments in nanostructured soft materials.

Role of Polymer Segment-Particle Surface Interactions in Controlling Nanoparticle Dispersions in Concentrated Polymer Solutions

Journal Article Kim, So Youn ; Zukoski, Charles F. - Langmuir

The microstructure of particles suspended in concentrated polymer solutions is examined with small-angle X-ray scattering and small-angle neutron scattering. Of interest are changes to long wavelength particle density fluctuations in ternary mixtures of silica nanoparticles suspended in concentrated solutions of poly(ethylene glycol). The results are understood in terms of application of the pseudo-two-component polymer reference interaction site model (PRISM) theory modified to account for solvent addition via effective contact strength of interfacial attraction, ε_pc, in an implicit manner. The combined experimental-theoretical study emphasizes the complex interactions between solvent, polymer, and particle surface that control particle miscibility but also demonstrate thatmore »« less

Dynamics of Nanoparticles in Entangled Polymer Solutions

Journal Article Nath, Pooja ; Mangal, Rahul ; Kohle, Ferdinand ; ... - Langmuir

The mean square displacement < r² > of nanoparticle probes dispersed in simple isotropic liquids and in polymer solutions is interrogated using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and single-particle tracking (SPT) experiments. Probe dynamics in different regimes of particle diameter (d), relative to characteristic polymer length scales, including the correlation length (ξ), the entanglement mesh size (a), and the radius of gyration (R_g), are investigated. In simple fluids and for polymer solutions in which d >> R_g, long-time particle dynamics obey random-walk statistics < r² >:t, with the bulk zero-shear viscosity of the polymer solution determining the frictional resistance to particle motion.more »« less

Nanoparticle Motion in Entangled Melts of Linear and Nonconcatenated Ring Polymers [Nanoparticle Motion in Entangled Melts of Non-Concatenated Ring Polymers].

Journal Article Ge, Ting ; Kalathi, Jagannathan T. ; Halverson, Jonathan D. ; ... - Macromolecules

The motion of nanoparticles (NPs) in entangled melts of linear polymers and non-concatenated ring polymers are compared by large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. The comparison provides a paradigm for the effects of polymer architecture on the dynamical coupling between NPs and polymers in nanocomposites. Strongly suppressed motion of NPs with diameter d larger than the entanglement spacing a is observed in a melt of linear polymers before the onset of Fickian NP diffusion. This strong suppression of NP motion occurs progressively as d exceeds a, and is related to the hopping diffusion of NPs in the entanglement network. In contrast tomore »« less
