| Popis: |
We use coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to study deformation of networks and gels of linear and brush strands in both linear and nonlinear deformation regimes under constant pressure conditions. The simulations show that the Poisson ratio of networks and gels could exceed 0.5 in the nonlinear deformation regime. This behavior is due to the ability of the network and gel strands to sustain large reversible deformation, which, in combination with the finite strand extensibility results in strand alignment and monomer density, increases with increasing strand elongation. We developed a nonlinear network and gel deformation model which defines conditions for the Poisson ratio to exceed 0.5. The model predictions are in good agreement with the simulation results. |
