From Vulcanization to Isotropic and Nematic Rubber Elasticity
Xiangjun Xing, Swagatam Mukhopadhyay, Paul M. Goldbart +1
A Landau theory is constructed for the vulcanization transition in cross-linked polymer systems with spontaneous nematic ordering. The neo-classical theory of the elasticity of nem…

Scaling of Entropic Shear Rigidity
Xiangjun Xing, Swagatam Mukhopadhyay, Paul M. Goldbart
The scaling of the shear modulus near the gelation/vulcanization transition is explored heuristically and analytically. It is found that in a dense melt the effective chains of the…
