Non-entropic theory of rubber elasticity: flexible chains with weak excluded-volume interactions
A. D. Drozdov
Strain energy density is calculated for a network of flexible chains with weak excluded-volume interactions (whose energy is small compared with thermal energy). Constitutive equat…
Non-entropic theory of rubber elasticity: flexible chains grafted on a rigid surface
A. D. Drozdov
The elastic response is studied of a single flexible chain grafted on a rigid plane and an ensemble of non-interacting tethered chains. It is demonstrated that the entropic theory…
Stiffness of polymer chains
A. D. Drozdov
A formula is derived for stiffness of a polymer chain in terms of the distribution function of end-to-end vectors. This relationship is applied to calculate the stiffness of Gaussi…
The end-to-end distribution function for a flexible chain with weak excluded-volume interactions
A. D. Drozdov
An explicit expression is derived for the distribution function of end-to-end vectors and for the mean square end-to-end distance of a flexible chain with excluded-volume interacti…
Networks of self-avoiding chains and Ogden-type constitutive equations for elastomers
A. D. Drozdov, M. Gottlieb
An expression is derived for the strain energy of a polymer chain under an arbitrary three-dimensional deformation with finite strains. For a Gaussian chain, this expression is red…
Constitutive equations for a polymer fluid based on the concept of non-affine networks
A. D. Drozdov, R. K. Gupta
Constitutive equations are developed for a polymer fluid, which is treated as a permanent network of strands bridged by junctions. The junctions are assumed to slide with respect t…
