Percolation induced gel-gel phase separation in a dilute polymer network
Shohei Ishikawa, Yasuhide Iwanaga, Takashi Uneyama +8
Cosmic large-scale structures, animal flocks, and living tissues are non-equilibrium organized systems created by dissipative processes. Despite the uniqueness, the realization of…
Temperature Dependence of Polymer Network Diffusion
Takeshi Fujiyabu, Takamasa Sakai, Ryota Kudo +4
The swelling dynamics of polymer gels are characterized by the (collective) diffusion coefficient of the polymer network. Here, we measure the temperature dependence of of…
Negative energy elasticity in a rubberlike gel
Yuki Yoshikawa, Naoyuki Sakumichi, Ung-il Chung +1
Rubber elasticity is the archetype of the entropic force emerging from the second law of thermodynamics; numerous experimental and theoretical studies on natural and synthetic rubb…
