Universality of Osmotic Equation of State in Star Polymer Solutions
Takashi Yasuda, Masanobu Ino, Takamasa Sakai +1
We experimentally measure the osmotic pressures of linear polymers and three-, four-, and eight-arm star polymers in a good solvent via membrane osmometry. These results reveal tha…
Semidilute Principle for Gels
Naoyuki Sakumichi, Takashi Yasuda, Takamasa Sakai
Polymer gels such as jellies and soft contact lenses are soft solids consisting of three-dimensional polymer networks swollen with a large amount of solvent. For approximately 80 y…
Universal equation of state describes osmotic pressure throughout gelation process
Takashi Yasuda, Naoyuki Sakumichi, Ung-il Chung +1
The equation of state of the osmotic pressure for linear-polymer solutions in good solvents is universally described by a scaling function. We experimentally measure the osmotic pr…
