CHAIN CONFORMATION AND DYNAMICS IN AN INTERNALLY CROSS-LINKED POLYMER MELT: DISAPPEARENCE OF ENTANGLEMENTS
Recent experiments on Single-Chain-Nano-Particles in bulk reveal that the structural relaxation is hardly sensitive to internal cross-links, while macroscopic rheology shows a spectacular disentanglement with respect to the linear chains' melt counterpart. A new emerging relaxation process at intermediate length scales --also detectable by dielectric spectroscopy-- seems to be the mechanism controlling the viscous flow in the SCNPs. We want to search for the microscopic signatures of such a process in the single chain dynamic structure factor, and provide experimental evidence for the internal loops structure predicted by MD-simulations through SANS.
