Even though FCS has been mainly applied to biological systems, within the last 15 years an increasing number of studies in material sciences have appeared, demonstrating its enormous potential also for this field. Apart from investigations on colloidal systems, polymer science has benefited significantly from this technique. This review will summarize FCS studies on polymer systems and, in particular, focus on the diffusion of differently sized molecular and macromolecular probes in polymer solutions, classical and responsive polymer gels, polymer melts and glasses. It will be discussed how FCS can be used to determine Received 5th September 2013 translational and rotational diffusion in polymer solutions and at interfaces, scaling laws, micellization Accepted 5th November 2013 and aggregation and, to some extent, polymer structure including heterogeneity.

    A18.04.0117 Dynamical structure of entangled polymers simulated under shear flow Airidas Korolkovas,1, 2 Philipp Gutfreund,1 and Max Wolff2 1)Institut Laue-Langevin, 71 rue des Martyrs, 38000 Grenoble, France 2)Division for Material Physics, Department for Physics and Astronomy, Lägerhyddsvägen 1, 752 37 Uppsala, Swedena) (Dated: 21 August 2018) The non-linear response of entangled polymers to shear flow is complicated. Its current understanding is framed mainly as a rheological description in terms of the complex viscosity. However, the full picture requires an assessment of the dynamical structure of individual polymer chains which give rise to the macroscopic observables. Here we shed new light on this problem, using a computer simulation based on a blob model, extended to describe shear flow in polymer melts and semi-dilute solutions. We examine the diffusion and the intermediate scattering spectra during a steady shear flow. The relaxation dynamics are found to speed up along the flow direction, but slow down along the shear gradient direction. The third axis, vorticity, shows a slowdown at the short scale of a tube, but reaches a net speedup at the large scale of the chain radius of gyration. arXiv:1703.10946v2 [physics.comp-ph] 20 Aug 2018 a)Electronic mail: [email protected] 1 I. INTRODUCTION FIG. 1: A simulation box with C = 64 chains under shear rate Wi = 32. Every chain has N = 512 blobs, or degrees of freedom. The radius of the blob defines the length scale λ. For visual clarity, the diameter of the plotted tubes is set to λ as well.
