Abstract

A short but detailed introduction to the statistical theory of polymer network formation is given, including gel formation, gel structure, and sol fraction. Focus is put on the use of probability generating functions, and results that are of interest for polymer network elasticity are emphasized. Detailed derivations are supplied, and a simple 6-step procedure is provided, so that the reader is able to adapt and apply the theory to his own chemical systems, even if examples are given on polyurethanes essentially.

    DIANI, Julie; FREDY, Carole; GILORMINI, Pierre; MERCKEL, Yannick; REGNIER, Gilles; ROUSSEAU, Ingrid (Elsevier, 2011)
    A torsion device was designed and built for testing the shape fixity and shape recovery of shape memory polymers at large deformation. A simple thermal chamber was used to regulate the thermal environment during testing ...

    TEYSSEDRE, Hubert; LANDIS, Stefan; GILORMINI, Pierre; REGNIER, Gilles (Springer, 2015)
    When capillary forces prevail, the leveling of the free surface of a fluid film is a natural phenomenon that has already found applicative interest either with brushmarks for paint coatings or for rheology on polymeric ...

    GILORMINI, Pierre; DIANI, Julie (Elsevier, 2012)
    A model has been proposed recently, which describes the experimentally observed mechanical behavior of some shape memory polymers. It considers a purely thermoelastic behavior, without strain rate effects, and assumes ...

    TEYSSEDRE, Hubert; GILORMINI, Pierre (Elsevier, 2013)
    The natural element method is used to simulate two-dimensional viscous flows where interfacial effects must be taken into account, for application to polymer melts at the micro and nano scales. The variational formulation ...
