Effects of Asymmetric Molecular Architecture on Chain Stretching and Dynamics in Miktoarm Star Copolymers

Thomas Kinsey et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of architectural asymmetry on the dielectric polymer relaxations in miktoarm star copolymers using broad-band dielectric spectroscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering. It was found that architecturally asymmetric systems exhibited distributions in relaxation times and strengths that were not dependent on molecular weight or morphology, contrasting with the effects observed in symmetric diblock systems. The results suggest that molecular architecture in block copolymers can serve as a versatile tool to control polymer chain dynamics and macroscopic properties.

Non-Universal Features in Uniaxially Extensional Rheology of Linear Polymer Melts and Concentrated Solutions: A Review

Yumi Matsumiya et al.

Summary: The rheological behavior of polymeric liquids was traditionally believed to be universally determined by a few time-independent molecular parameters, but recent studies have shown non-universality under extensional flow conditions. A key concept is the reduction of segmental friction of highly oriented/stretched polymer chains, which changes with the chemical structure of the polymer and solvent as well as the polymer concentration.
