Multi-scale entropic depletion phenomena in polymer liquids

Journal Article Banerjee, Debapriya ; Schweizer, Kenneth S., E-mail: kschweiz@illinois.edu ; Department of Chemistry, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois 61801 ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

We apply numerical polymer integral equation theory to study the entropic depletion problem for hard spheres dissolved in flexible chain polymer melts and concentrated solutions over an exceptionally wide range of polymer radius of gyration to particle diameter ratios (R{sub g}/D), particle-monomer diameter ratios (D/d), and chain lengths (N) including the monomer and oligomer regimes. Calculations are performed based on a calibration of the effective melt packing fraction that reproduces the isobaric dimensionless isothermal compressibility of real polymer liquids. Three regimes of the polymer-mediated interparticle potential of mean force (PMF) are identified and analyzed in depth. (i) The magnitude ofmore »« less

Entropic depletion in colloidal suspensions and polymer liquids: Role of nanoparticle surface topography

Journal Article Banerjee, Debapriya ; Yang, Jian ; Schweizer, Kenneth S. - Soft Matter

Here, we employ a hybrid Monte Carlo plus integral equation theory approach to study how dense fluids of small nanoparticles or polymer chains mediate entropic depletion interactions between topographically rough particles where all interaction potentials are hard core repulsion. The corrugated particle surfaces are composed of densely packed beads which present variable degrees of controlled topographic roughness and free volume associated with their geometric crevices. This pure entropy problem is characterized by competing ideal translational and (favorable and unfavorable) excess entropic contributions. Surface roughness generically reduces particle depletion aggregation relative to the smooth hard sphere case. However, the competition betweenmore »« less

Segment-scale, force-level theory of mesoscopic dynamic localization and entropic elasticity in entangled chain polymer liquids

Journal Article Dell, Zachary E. ; Schweizer, Kenneth S. - Journal of Chemical Physics

In this study, we develop a segment-scale, force-based theory for the breakdown of the unentangled Rouse model and subsequent emergence of isotropic mesoscopic localization and entropic elasticity in chain polymer liquids in the absence of ergodicity-restoring anisotropic reptation or activated hopping motion. The theory is formulated in terms of a conformational N-dynamic-order-parameter generalized Langevin equation approach. It is implemented using a universal field-theoretic Gaussian thread model of polymer structure and closed at the level of the chain dynamic second moment matrix. The physical idea is that the isotropic Rouse model fails due to the dynamical emergence, with increasing chain length,more »« less

The Entropic Braiding Index ( eBI ): A Robust Metric to Account for the Diversity of Channel Scales in Multi‐Thread Rivers

Journal Article Tejedor, Alejandro ; Schwenk, Jon ; Kleinhans, Maarten ; ... - Geophysical Research Letters

Abstract The Braiding Index ( BI ), defined as the average count of intercepted channels per cross‐section, is a widely used metric for characterizing multi‐thread river systems. However, it does not account for the diversity of channels (e.g., in terms of water discharge) within different cross‐sections, omitting important information related to system complexity. Here we present a modification of BI, the Entropic Braiding Index ( eBI ), which augments the information content in BI by using Shannon Entropy to encode the diversity of channels in each cross section. eBI is interpreted as the number of “effective channels” per cross‐section, allowingmore »« less
