Variational bounds for the shear viscosity of gelling melts
Claas H. Köhler, Henning Löwe, Peter Müller +1
We study shear stress relaxation for a gelling melt of randomly crosslinked, interacting monomers. We derive a lower bound for the static shear viscosity , which implies that it…
Critical Dynamics of Gelation
Kurt Broderix, Henning Loewe, Peter Mueller +1
Shear relaxation and dynamic density fluctuations are studied within a Rouse model, generalized to include the effects of permanent random crosslinks. We derive an exact correspond…
Shear viscosity of a crosslinked polymer melt
Kurt Broderix, Henning Loewe, Peter Mueller +1
We investigate the static shear viscosity on the sol side of the vulcanization transition within a minimal mesoscopic model for the Rouse-dynamics of a randomly crosslinked melt of…
