SUMMARY:Breaking Down the Mechanics of Polymers: From Networks to Viscoelasticity
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Division of Polymeric Materials: Science & Engineering (PMSE)\n11am-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nWhen designing polymers to achieve desired characteristics\, such as toughness\, elasticity\, and resilience\, you must not only consider the type of polymer\, but also the mechanics of its macromolecular architecture. \n\n\n\nSergei Sheiko of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will first delve into the nuanced properties of polymer networks\, including their modulus\, strain-stiffening behavior\, and swelling tendencies\, all of which are intricately linked to the network’s architectural configuration. Then\, Adrianne Rosales of the University of Texas at Austin\, will underscore the significance of viscoelasticity – a phenomenon embodying both solid and liquid properties. She will also elucidate the mechanical characterization of viscoelastic materials\, employing shear oscillatory rheology techniques in both the linear and nonlinear regions. \nRegister now to gain a deeper understanding of the intricate world of polymer mechanics and its impact on material behavior. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Michael Silverstein of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and co-produced with the ACS Division of Polymeric Materials: Science & Engineering (PMSE). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nThe elastic responses of elastomers and gels\nNetwork architecture: Decoupling softness\, firmness\, and swelling ratio\nThe forensics of polymer networks: Deciphering the network structure from its nonlinear elastic response\nCharacterizing the storage and loss moduli using shear rheology\nCharacterizing stress relaxation in viscoelastic polymers\nRheological characterization: The differences between “linear” and “nonlinear”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nWednesday\, December 13\, 2023 @ 2-3:30pm ET\nFree to register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available on the day of the Live event
