Colby, Polymer Physics (Oxford, ), Chapters 6 and 7 P.-G. de Gennes, Scaling Concepts in Polymer Physics (Cornell, 979), Chapter 5 S. V.

2 Gel polymer network permeated by solvent solvent Cross-linked network polymer volume fraction.- %

3 Gelation physical bonds chemical (covalent bonds) Weak Strong eacting monomers Crosslinking polymers (Vulcanization) Condensation (Critical Percolation) Addition (Kinetic Growth) End-linking andom Crosslinking Chemical and strong physical gels are soft solids macroscopic elasticity Weak physical gels are viscoelastic liquids

4 Physical bonds Weak a b Hydrogen bonds Block copolymer nodules Ionic associations Strong c Microcrystal lamellae Glassy nodules Double helices

5 Here we focus on solid (strong) gels: irreversible crosslinking stable in solvent bath but solvent evaporates when exposed to air Evaporation is diffusion-controlled: -6 cm /s t week, for a cm gel Gelation is a random process no two gels have identical structure (topology) even if identically prepared! Unique speckle patterns in light scattering

6 Are gels equilibrium solids or glasses? (single vs multiple equilibrium states) Determine uniqueness of eq (r) by temperature cycling and monitoring the speckle patterns T T T 5 C 45 C 5 C Goren et al, Macromolecules, 5757 ().

7 Gelation: Dilute solution of monomers M (f=) with volume fraction ϕ M and crosslinks C (f>) with volume fraction ϕ C ϕ C < ϕ M < If ϕ C << ϕ M only small connected clusters ( sol ) exist An infinite cluster ( gel ) appears at ϕ C * - Gel point Shear rigidity first appears at ϕ C ** > ϕ C * - much of theory focuses on the sol-gel transition because of the connection to percolation and critical phenomena

8 Bond percolation: bonds introduced with probability p p < p c p > p c Extent of reaction p fraction of formed bonds out of all possible bonds. Connectivity transition at critical extent of reaction p c (percolation threshold). Only finite clusters (sol) at p<p c. At p>p c infinite cluster (gel), in addition to finite clusters.

9 Mean-field estimate of the gel point (neglect loops) Condensation polymerization of AB f- monomers: p probability of B to react with A Fraction of reacted A groups: p(f-) Maximum extent of reaction (all A groups reacted): A B B A B B A A B B A B B A B B A B B A A B B B B p c =/(f-) Each branched polymer contains only one unreacted A group # molecules = # unreacted A groups B B = p(f-)= Average polymer size: = diverges at!

17 Deformation of gels What is the difference between gels and rubber?. Gels swell/deswell in response to deformation in a solvent bath. This takes time on short time scales gels respond to deformation like rubber!. Swelling effects on entanglements (melts vs semi-dilute solutions)

31 What about the microscopic structure of gels on length scales < micron? Scattering experiments from mesoscales (S) to nanoscales (SANS, SAXS): Frozen inhomogeneities, topological disorder, thermal fluctuations

32 log [ I(q) / arb. units ] Monomer concentration inhomogeneities (and therefore scattering from gels) diverge at ϕ C*. Since ordinary solid gels are formed considerably above the gel point, one expects inhomogeneities to decrease with increasing crosslink concentration.

35 Stretching direction The butterfly effect: scattering from stretched gels Theory of elasticity + statistical mechanics: Thermal fluctuations suppressed along stretching direction and enhanced normal to it SANS experiments observe the reverse! Bastide et al, Macromolecules, 8 (99) These are not thermal fluctuations! Stretching enhances density contrast between heavily and lightly crosslinked regions

Panyukov and abin, Phys. ep. 69, (996) Macromolecules 9, 796 (996).

37 For gels prepared by reacting monomers -crosslinks act as attractions Increasing concentration of crosslinks and/or decreasing solubility during gelation approach spinodal of the monomer-crosslink system P.-G. de Gennes, Scaling Methods in Polymer Physics (979) S.V. Panyukov and Y. abin, Phys. ep. 69, (996) Crosslink saturation threshold C(q ) at the CST ength scale of static inhomogeneities : (effective mesh size) / an away from CST at CST No CST for gels prepared by irradiation crosslinking

38 Test of CST Correlation length of static inhomogeneities Crosslink concentrration Noritsue et al, Polymer 4, 589 () Inhomogeneities are revealed upon swelling since highly crosslinked regions swell less than those that are poorly crosslinked.

39 Fitting scattering profiles with P theory: eacting monomer- crosslink mixture Irradiation crosslinking of chains Strong thermal fluctuations: liquid-like Static inhomogeneities dominate: solid-like Noritsue et al, Polymer 4, 589 () Takata et al, Macromolecules 5, 4779 ()

40 Temperature and cross-link density dependence: SANS vs. theory C BIS C BIS Peak at q* comes from static inhomogeneities, not thermal fluctuations! Structural reorganization subject to crosslink constraints Ikkai et al., Macromolecules, 5 (998)
