Abstract
Since the invention of atomic force microscopy (AFM), researchers have been able to study the statistical mechanical properties of individual polymer chains by using a technique known as single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS), which stretches a single polymer chain by attaching one end of the chain to a substrate and the other end to the AFM tip. SMFS is used to obtain static information about single polymer chains, mainly through a quasistatic stretching process. With technological developments in recent years, dynamic SMFS measurements under nonequilibrium conditions have also been realized. The dynamic viscoelasticity of single molecule chains can also be measured, which will benefit our understanding of the nonequilibrium dynamic properties of polymeric materials.
期刊介绍:
For the communication among the members, the journal of the Society of Rheology Japan, NIHON REOROJI GAKKAISHI (5 issues per year), was established in 1973 and it is the oldest journal on rheology in Asia. The journal contains original and review articles on rheology and related topics, information for all SRJ events, and reports of domestic/overseas meetings. Articles in Japanese as well as in English are considered for publication, not only from the members but also from the researchers outside. Papers from new emerging areas of the field are particularly welcome. The electronic version of the articles is available via the internet with an open access policy.
