Theoretical investigation of SANS from elastomeric networks with topological constraints

Summary

This paper presents a theoretical investigation of SANS from labeled chains in polymer networks which are characterized by the topology of tube-like deformation dependent configurational constraints. The deformation dependence of the constraints is assumed to relax and to be determined by a microscopic deformation law. The results lead to the conclusion that the change of the radius of gyration of a network chain may be much less than the deformation of the macroscopic sample. It is pointed out that network defects favour the effect of constraint release.
