- Abstract
- We report on the unusual response of a well-characterized entangled comb polymer in simple shear flow. The polymer with highly entangled backbone (about 16 entanglements) and on average 29 long branches (about 3 entanglements each) has been extensively characterized by interaction chromatography and its rheology carefully studied under controlled conditions using a special cone partitioned-plate geometry. We observe that the start-up shear stress becomes roughly rate independent above a certain critical rate, related to the relaxation time of the branches. Within the rate-independent region, the start-up shear stress displays a double overshoot. We interpret these observations in light of tube-based pompom dynamics. The key idea is that for sufficiently long branches the main stress overshoot, which reflects backbone stretching and orientation, is preceded by the withdrawal of branches into the backbone tube. The excellent quantitative comparison between the simulations and experiments supports the proposed mechanism of the double stress overshoot.
