Ultimately deformed double-network gels possess positive energetic elasticity
Chika Imaoka, Tatsunari Masumi, Jian Ping Gong +2
The elasticity of rubbery polymer networks has been considered to be entropy-driven. On the other hand, studies on single polymer chain mechanics have revealed that the elasticity…
A simple micro-swimmer model inspired by the general equation for nonequilibrium reversible-irreversible coupling
Andrés Córdoba, Jay D. Schieber, Tsutomu Indei
A simple mean-field micro-swimmer model is presented. The model is inspired by the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of multi-component fluids that undergo chemical reactions. These th…
Correction of Doi-Edwards' Green Function for a Chain in a Harmonic Potential and its Implication for the Stress-Optical Rule
Jay D. Schieber, Tsutomu Indei
We provide a corrected Green's function for a polymer chain trapped in a two-dimensional anisotropic harmonic potential with a fixed boundary condition. This Green's function is a…
Rheological Study of Transient Networks with Junctions of Limited Multiplicity II. Sol/Gel Transition and Rheology
Tsutomu Indei
Viscoelastic and thermodynamic properties of transient gels formed by telechelic polymers are studied on the basis of the transient network theory that takes account of the correla…
Rheological Study of Transient Networks with Junctions of Limited Multiplicity
Tsutomu Indei
Viscoelastic and thermodynamic properties of transient gels comprised of telechelic polymers are theoretically studied. We extend classical theories of transient networks so that c…
Analysis of Shear-Thickening in Physical Gel. A Stochastic Theory for Polymer Networks
T. Indei, T. Arimitsu
A formula of steady shear viscosity is derived by introducing a model to describe the dynamics of physically cross-linked network (physical gel), and successfully analyzes the shea…
