La mesure des taux de relaxation nucleaire longitudinale des protons des ions diamagnetiques fournit l'information experimentale. On a choisi les solutions ioniques de sorte que le principal mecanisme de relaxation de ces protons soit les fluctuations temporelles de leur interaction dipolaire magnetique avec les spins electroniques des ions paramagnetiques. Cette interaction depend fortement du potentiel des forces moyennes (PMF) ion-ion et des coefficients d'auto-diffusion ioniques. On calcule les correlations spatiales ion-ion et les PMF associes a l'aide d'une nouvelle approximation des equations integrales de la mecanique statistique des liquides. Ce formalisme traite tous les ions comme des particules discretes. Il est fonde sur les PMF d'infinie dilution des differentes paires d'ions. Il melange une theorie de Born-Oppenheimer pour la dilution infinie avec une approximation de type McMillan-Mayer pour tenir compte de la concentration ionique. Il va au-dela du modele d'ecrantage de Debye-Huckel ou une distribution continue de charge rend compte des effets des ions discrets environnants. Il est relie au concept des constantes dielectriques locales qui generalisent la constante dielectrique macroscopique usuelle et sont fonction des distances ion-ion. On a mesure les coefficients d'auto-diffusion des ions diamagnetiques par des techniques RMN de gradients pulses de champ magnetique (PMFG), appliquees aux protons resonnants. Dans les solutions paramagnetiques contenant plusieurs especes protonees, les precautions particulieres a prendre sont discutees en detail. Dans toutes les solutions considerees la theorie rend bien compte des taux de relaxation en fonction des charges des ions, de leurs concentrations et de la frequence de resonance des protons. On compare les resultats de relaxation predits par la nouvelle approximation des PMF ion-ion a ceux deduits du formalisme d'ecrantage coulombien simple de Debye-Huckel, qui s'applique encore assez bien jusqu'a des forces ioniques moderees.","PeriodicalId":14774,"journal":{"name":"Journal De Physique Ii","volume":"17 1","pages":"1299-1322"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85873270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Large reductions of the bending stiffness may be induced by a few percent of the solutes, e.g. 1 mol % of valinomycin reduce kc by a factor of two. The effect is rationalised in terms of local thinning of the bilayer. The strong effect of solutes on kc contrasts with its weak dependence on the lipid structure since the C18:0/C18:1-lipid stearoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidyl-choline (SOPC) exhibits only a 15% higher value of kc than DMPC. The effect of temperature on the flicker behaviour was analysed in order to establish correlations between the effective tension and the excess area of the quasi-spherical vesicles. The temperature dependence of the bilayer excess area for a DMPC vesicle leads to the thermal expansion coefficient, β, for which a value of β= 10.4 ×10-3 K-1 is obtained. A much stronger tendency for budding on μm-scale (micro budding) during thermal area expansion of POPC and SOPC compared to DMPC was observed.","PeriodicalId":14774,"journal":{"name":"Journal De Physique Ii","volume":"64 1","pages":"1141-1157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87636234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The single chain properties ${$gyration radius 〈Rg2〉, $h(q)}$ are in reasonable agreement with the expected theoretical behavior, showing a crossover from swollen chains ${langle R_{rm g}^2rangle propto N^{2nu} ,~ h(q) propto q^{-1/nu}}$ to Gaussian chains, and the data comply with a scaling description, with a correlation length ξ∝c-ν/(3ν-1). However, the inter-chain structure factor HD(q) disagrees with the corresponding predictions, we find a behaviour HD(q)∝q-3 only in an intermediate range but this is accidental: rather it is found that HD(q) smoothly bends over from its saturation value at small q to a behavior close to q-4 at q≈1/l, l being the length of effective bonds. This failure is traced back to the condition that the law HD(q)∝q-3 should only be observed for ξ-1≪q ≪l-1, a condition reached neither in the simulation nor in experiments. We also compare our results for HD(q) with the random phase approximation and find strong deviations.","PeriodicalId":14774,"journal":{"name":"Journal De Physique Ii","volume":"68 1","pages":"1123-1139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81356048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All the data collapses onto a master plot revealing a universal behaviour. We analyse theoretically the threshold properties of the stripe phase. The analysis of free energy yields a first order transition into a fully-coarsened texture without any intermediate state of sinusoidal modulation.","PeriodicalId":14774,"journal":{"name":"Journal De Physique Ii","volume":"308 1","pages":"1059-1069"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91551020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Slow Transients and Metastability in Wormlike Micelle Rheology","authors":"C. Grand, J. Arrault, M. Cates","doi":"10.1051/JP2:1997172","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1051/JP2:1997172","url":null,"abstract":"The steady-state nonlinear rheology of wormlike micellar systems is thought to be subject to shear banding (the underlying shear stress vs. strain rate curve σ(γ) is nonmonotonic). Shear banding may result in a plateau (σ(γ) = σp) in the measured flow curve (at controlled mean strain rate γ). We present new rheological data for aqueous CPyCl/NaSal (100 mM /60 mM). Steady-state flow curves published previously for this system (Rehage H. and Hoffmann H., Mol. Phys. 74 (1991) 933) have since been interpreted as shear-banded flow with top-jumping, in which the steady-state shear rate γ1 in the low shear band is the largest possible (γ 1 = γ 1 max , σ p = σ max ). That would rule out the existence of a metastable branch with a stress larger than σp. We show that such a branch does, however, exist (for temperatures in the range 20 - 25 °C). Similar results are found for a 100 mM/75 mM system. The time scale for relaxation of a metastable state onto true steady state flow, τ ss , is far longer than the Maxwell time of the fluid; this is consistent with shear banding. We observe τ ss ∼ (γ - γ c ) -P in the metastable regime (γ > γ 1 ), with p an exponent that depends on composition and temperature. The critical shear rate γ c is in some cases less than γ 1 so that no actual divergence of τ ss occurs. In at least one case, though, there is evidence for a physical divergence (γ c > γ 1 ) accompanied by a small window of shear rates, γ 1 < γ < γ c , for which τ ss is effectively infinite. In some respects the observed behaviour resembles that reported previously (Berret J.-F., Roux D.C. and Porte G., J. Phys. II Prance 4 (1994) 1261) for equimolar CPyCl/NaSal in 0.5 M NaCl. Those results were interpreted in terms of nucleation and growth of a shear-induced nematic phase. However the same explanation is unlikely for the low weight fractions (Φ ≤ 5%) used in our study.","PeriodicalId":14774,"journal":{"name":"Journal De Physique Ii","volume":"13 11","pages":"1071-1086"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91447083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A simple scaling analysis as in self avoiding walk chains are not possible, because three interplaying relevant length scales are involved, i.e., the Debye screening length and the Pincus blob size.

For larger forces we find a new regime, characterized by deformations larger than a computed electrostatic blob size.
