A diverse range of linear polysiloxane-based ionic polymers that are hydrophobic and highly flexible can be obtained by substituting the polymers with varying amounts of ionic centers. The materials can be highly crystalline solids, amorphous soft solids, poly(ionic) liquids or viscous polymer liquids. A key to understanding how structural variations can lead to these different materials is the establishment of correlations between the physical (dynamic and static) properties and the structures of the polymers at different distance scales. This short review provides such correlations by examining the influence of structural properties (such as molecular weights, ion pair contents, and ion types) on key bulk properties of the materials.

The visco-elastic properties of entangled polymer liquids arise from molecular-scale topological interactions and stochastic fluctuations under flow. Here, the evolutions of individual entangled polymers were observed in rheologically relevant shear flow histories. We uncover a high degree of molecular individualism and broad conformational distributions resulting from incessant stretch-collapse cycles. The data and insights of the present study may lead to improved molecular-level models and constitutive equations. These tools, in turn, may enable the rational design of novel materials with properties tailored to accomplish specific tasks such as high-pressure vessels and piping with greater safety margins and cost-effectiveness.
