  1. Segmental + Dipole moment  = q × ℓ ℓ _ Normal (Type-B) || (Type -A) Dynamics of MacromoleculesJovan Mijovic, Polytechnic University, DMR-0101182 For animation: click on the picture Studies of dynamics probe the motions of molecular chains in an applied field, such as electrical or mechanical. Those motions cover a range of time scales (from slow to fast) and are crucial for understanding processing and properties of materials. We utilize dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) and dynamic mechanical spectroscopy (DMS) to explore dynamics of macromolecules. The aim of our research is to realize macroscopic properties from molecular concepts. Three types of molecular architectures (Figure 1) were investigated: 1) Polymer networks; 2) Multigraft block copolymers; 3) Helical biopolymers (DNA). In Figure 2 we show how the slower motions of entire chains (normal mode) can be distinguished from the faster motions of chain segments (segmental mode). Type 1 Type 3 Figure 1. Three types of molecular architectures investigated. Type 2 ε" log ƒ (Hz) Figure 2. Type A and type B dipoles in polymer chains give rise to normal (slow) and segmental (fast) modes detectable by DRS and DMS. An example of a dielectric spectrum of polypropylene oxide (PPO) is shown in the right.
