  1. polymer dynamics & field cycling NMR - glass transition - dynamics in polymer melts analyzing T1 relaxation E.A. Rössler Experimentalphysik II, Universität Bayreuth, Germany

  2. a rheological crossover in the viscosity of polymer melts M < Mc:   M1 M > Mc:   M(3.4-3.7 Mc: „entanglement M“ Berry and Fox 1968

  3. two microscopic theories for explaining two rheological regimes rheological behavior changes at entanglement molecular weight Mc M < Mc: Rouse theory (1953) M > Mc: tube reptation theory (deGennes 1979, Doi/Edwards 1987)

  4. Rouse model (M < Mc): bead & spring model in a viscous medium entropic force constant:

  5. Rouse model II: calculating correlation function of normal mode coordinates neglecting inertia effects, (overdamped oscillations due to viscous medium) and continuous chain decoupled relaxation („breathing“) modes

  6. Rouse -1/2 1 <R2> lgt 1/2 lgt Rouse model III – results a.) mean square segment displacement b.) correlation function of tangent vector b

  7. Rouse modell IVscaling arguments yielding more and more segments are dragged cf. T. Springer, IFF-Ferienkurs 1994

  8. Rouse glassy & Rouse dynamics mean square segmental displacement <r2(t)> = g1(t) MD simulations (Binder et al. 2003) - ballistic regime:  t2 - cage regime  to - sub-diffusive Rouse regime:  t1/2 - hydrodynamic regime: (t  ): <r2> = 6 D t

  9. accounting for entanglement effects: deGennes´ idea: tupe-reptation model forecast:  M3(exp.: M3.60.2) D  M-2 (exp.: D M-2.2)

  10. from Rouse to entanglement dynamics hierachy of power-laws is expected mean square rank-two displacementorientational correlation function (courtesy K. Saalwächter) regime II and III:

  11. shear modulus lg G(t) lg t What mechanical relaxations do we expect in polymers? Rouse entanglement simple liquid = „glassy dynamics“ (-process) M <MRM >MRM >Me

  12. bead-and-spring model JCP evidence of tube
