ABSTRACTThe predictions of a general “hierarchical model” for the rheology of general mixtures of linear and branched polymers are compared to experimental data for well-defined long-chain branched polymers. For a wide range of branched polymer melts, which include star-linear blends, H-polymers, and comb polymers, the predictions of the model agree well with experimental data. We apply the hierarchical model to metallocene-catalyzed polyethylenes (mPEs), in which the branched structures are generated by a Monte Carlo method based on the known reaction kinetics. The hierarchical model captures the shape of the curves of viscoelastic moduli vs. frequency of mPEs well and predicts accurately the effect of long chain branching on the linear viscoelastic properties. The quantitative agreement of the hierarchical model prediction with experimental data of well-defined long-chain branched polymers and mPEs shows that information on branching structure could be inferred from rheological measurements on combinatorial sets of mixtures of an unknown branched with different combinations of linear polymers.

We propose an automaton, a theoretical framework that demonstrates how to improve the yield of the synthesis of branched chemical polymer reactions. This is achieved by separating substeps of the path of synthesis into compartments. We use chemical containers (chemtainers) to carry the substances through a sequence of fixed successive compartments. We describe the automaton in mathematical terms and show how it can be configured automatically in order to synthesize a given branched polymer target. The algorithm we present finds an optimal path of synthesis in linear time. We discuss how the automaton models compartmentalized structures found in cells, such as the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, and we show how this compartmentalization can be exploited for the synthesis of branched polymers such as oligosaccharides. Lastly, we show examples of artificial branched polymers and discuss how the automaton can be configured to synthesize them with maximal yield.
