Partitioning Law of Polymer Chains into Flexible Polymer Networks
Haruki Takarai, Takashi Yasuda, Naoyuki Sakumichi +1
The equilibrium partitioning of linear polymer chains into flexible polymer networks is governed by intricate entropic constraints arising from the configurational degrees of freed…
Polymer Network Diffusion in Charged Gels
Shoei Sano, Takashi Yasuda, Takeshi Fujiyabu +2
The swelling kinetics of charged polymer gels reflect the complex competition among elastic, mixing, and ionic contributions. Here, we used dynamic light scattering to investigate…
Tri-branched gels: Rubbery materials with the lowest branching factor approach the ideal elastic limit
Takeshi Fujiyabu, Naoyuki Sakumichi, Takuya Katashima +4
Unlike hard materials such as metals and ceramics, rubbery materials can endure large deformations due to the large conformational degree of freedom of the crosslinked three-dimens…
