摘要
Extensional flows are highly effective in deforming coiled polymer chains and can cause chain scission, especially in entangled systems. This study analyzes the effect of concentration and solvent viscosity on extensional degradation. Narrow molecular weight distribution (M-w/M-n = 1.03) polystyrene samples are dissolved in two different solvents: 1-methyl-naphthalene and polystyrene oligomer. Polymer concentration is varied to obtain solutions in the dilute, semidilute, and concentrated regimes: The solutions are subjected to a fast transient extensional flow in an opposed pistons apparatus. Chain scission is measured using gel permeation chromatography. Degradation is related to the flow field and extensional rheology of the solutions.
