Many polymer liquids flow easily when stretched gently but become viscous and solid-like when stretched rapidly. This phenomenon, known as strain hardening, happens when the liquid is deformed so fast that individual polymer chains become elongated at the molecular scale. Understanding the physics of strain hardening is important for a range of applications, from controlling blood clotting to processing and recycling plastic materials to polymers for 3D printing. Most of the time, strain hardening disappears if a polymer is stretched gently. However, scientists at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, a Department of Energy Office of Science user facility, have used molecular simulations to show that a special type of polymer liquid made of polymer rings defies this rule. No matter how slowly these liquids are stretched, they always grow more viscous and solid-like. The researchers found that stretching, or elongational flow, drives the polymer rings to tie together into long, molecular chains that act like massive molecules and that elongate even when flow is weak. The formation of just a small number of these elongated daisy-chains can produce a massive increase in the fluid viscosity. This means it behaves more like a solid. This characteristic could be harnessed to design intelligent fluids that become highly viscous when elongated but flow easily under different flow conditions.
