Notizen:
A simulation of the Brownian motion of polyethers and polyethylene is reported. The chains under consideration are confined to a tetrahedral lattice and subjected to conformational energy conditions. The dynamic behavior of the whole chain is studied. The diffusion of individual chain atoms reflects the chemical nature of the chain, and the diffusion of the center of mass, in connection with experimental results, affords a time scale for the simulation. The relaxation of bond orientation, which is connected with fluorescence depolarization, is found to be consistent with the theory of Valeur and co-workers. The relaxation of the total dipole is interpreted in terms of conformational features of the motions and correlations between neighboring dipoles. Finally, relations between chemical structure and dynamic behavior are established. Three classes of polyether chains are to be distinguished: the rigid chain poly(methylene oxide), the highly flexible poly(ethylene oxide) and an intermediate class typified by polyethylene.
