Summary:Current progress in understanding the dynamics of associating polymers is reviewed, with examples including both ionic and hydrogen bonding associations. A particular emphasis is placed on quantification of the strength of the interaction that sets the association lifetime. Knowledge of the interaction energy and the number density of associating groups allows a rational understanding of the linear viscoelastic response of many associating polymers. Current progress in understanding the dynamics of associating polymers is reviewed, with examples including both ionic and hydrogen bonding associations.
Bibliography:Quan Chen received his BS and MS in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 2003 and 2007, respectively, and PhD degree in the Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University, Japan in 2011 working on dynamics of miscible polymer blends with Prof. Hiroshi Watanabe. He began working as a postdoc at the Pennsylvania State University with Prof. Ralph Colby on designing single-ion conductors in 2012, and moved to his current position as a Professor at the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2015. His current research interests are molecular rheology of polymer-related systems.
Ralph H. Colby received his BS in Materials Science and Engineering from Cornell University in 1979 and his MS and PhD in Chemical Engineering from Northwestern University, in 1983 and 1985. After ten years at the Eastman Kodak Company in their Corporate Research Laboratories, Dr Colby joined the faculty in Materials Science and Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University in 1995. He is the current Editor of the Journal of Rheology and was the recipient of the Society of Rheology's Bingham Medal in 2012. Dr Colby has over 200 publications and published a textbook Polymer Physics in 2003.
Zhijie Zhang received his BS in 2001, MS in 2005, and PhD in 2008 from Jilin University. His PhD research was on phase separation of binary distributed high-density polyethylene. He began working as a research assistant at the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2008, and was promoted to an associate professor in 2017. His current research interest is the dynamics of various polymer-related systems, using state-of-the-art rheological and dielectric techniques.
