Entropic stress of grafted polymer chains in shear flow
Abstract: We analyze the shear response of grafted polymer chains in shear flow via coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations with an explicit solvent. We find that the solvent flow penetrates into almost the whole brush for “mushroom”-type brushes but only a few bond distances for dense brushes. In all cases, the external stress on the wall equals the entropic stress associated with the distorted polymer conformations. We find that the external stress increases linearly with shear rate at low rates and sublinearly at high rates. The transition from linear to sublinear scaling occurs where chains react to flow by reorienting. Sublinear scaling with shear rate disappears if the shear rate is nondimensionalized with the effective relaxation time of chain subsegments located in the outer part of the brush that experiences flow
