摘要:
The use of concentrated polymer solutions is one of the basic techniques in the application of polymers. They may be coating materials, plasticized polymers, and oil-extended rubber. In these applications the solubility relation is one of the key requirements. The polymer-solvent interaction is expected to influence the mechanical property of the mixture. It is the intent of this study to explore how the dynamic mechanical property is affected by the change of thermodynamic interaction parameter in concentrated polymer solutions. The theoretical development is based on several assumptions: (1) a polymer chain in the amorphous state and in its own environment assumes unperturbed configuration; (2) a polymer chain in a good solvent (poor) is expanded (contracted) relative to the unperturbed dimension; (3) the expanded (contracted) chain configuration results in the higher (lower) entanglement density; (4) both expanded and contracted chains store an elastic energy, the magnitude of which may be estimated; (5) the elastic energy of the deformed chain is balanced by the thermodynamic energy of interaction. The paper focuses on the development of a theory. Also, limited examples of the application of the theory are presented.
