The lab explores the mechanical properties of polymers using statistics and topology.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring polymer mechanics from the shapes of strings.
The Polymer Physics Lab studies the mechanical properties of polymers such as gels, rubbers, and elastomers, using statistics and topology.
It focuses on a property common to all polymers: they are long, highly flexible, string-like molecules.
It analyzes the shapes that such strings form, such as network structures, knots, and links, through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation.
The results of this analysis are used to deepen the understanding of macroscopic physical properties.
Key terms
- Elastomer
- A polymer material that can stretch and recoil greatly, like rubber
- Topology
- The properties of shapes determined by how they are connected, such as how a string is knotted or entangled
- Link
- A shape formed by several strings entangled with one another. It is treated as a relative of a knot
