Static scaling laws

Power laws derived in this way from the self-similarity include the scaling laws. 

In the critical region, the cluster distribution function obeys the scaling law 

The indexes a and x are two fundamental structural indices of percolation theory. The function F(x) is a smooth scaling function which decays sufficiently fast. 

The number average cluster size takes a finite value at the percolation threshold, and hence 

the reference cluster size m turned out to be the z-average.

In a similar way the contribution for all the different modes to the three transport coefficients can be calculated. Equations (58) and (61) are the classic mode coupling theory expressions that provide general expressions for the shear viscosity and thermal conductivity, respectively. Using these general expressions and the ideas of static scaling laws, Kadanoff and Swift have calculated the transport coefficients near the critical point. 

It has been proposed that the static scaling law described in Section 2.6 can be generalized to dynamical phenomena. The hypothesis is that, for a polymer described by the Zimm model, when the parameters of the model are changed as... 

If a phase transition at a nonzero temperature Tf exists in spin glasses, one expects that the nonlinear susceptibility should satisfy a static scaling law ... 

The static scaling law hypothesis (e.g. Griffiths, 1%7) provides us with an equation of state in the one phase region close to the critical point which incorporates the power law relations eqs. (19.8)-(19.10) ... 

In Section 7.2 we describe briefly the static scaling laws for polymers both in good and 0 solvents. Section 7.3 is devoted to the discussion of the hydrodynamic properties of dilute solutions, which are often used to characterize polymers. The hydrodynamic properties of semi-dilute solutions are divided into two groups collective properties and single chain properties, which are described in Sections 7.4 and 7.5 respectively. 

Note that the dynamic fractal dimension obtained on the basis of the temporal scaling law should not necessarily have a value equal to that of the static percolation. We shall show here that in order to establish a relationship between the static and dynamic fractal dimensions, we must go beyond relationships (83) and (84) for the scaling exponents. 

Assuming constant normal pressure in the contacts, which is equivalent to a linearity between L and A, the static friction coefficient obeys the following general scaling laws for rigid objects where roughness exponent H = 0 applies ...

According to a report of Feldman et al. [105], the exponent p is 1.9 for both static and dynamic percolations. The scaling law for temperature percolation has the form [106-108]... 

In order to illustrate the typical nonlinear mechanical response of wormlike micelles under steady shear flow, we chose to focus on the cetylpyridinium (CPCl)/sodium saUcylate (NaSal) system. It is often considered as a model system since it follows the right scaling laws for the concentration dependence of the static viscosity and plateau modulus [32]. Moreover, for concentrations ranging from 1 to 30wt. %, the samples behave, in the linear regime, as almost perfect Maxwellian elements with a single relaxation time Tr and a plateau modulus Go- This system has been... 

In these expressions, tg is the reaction time at gel point, s and t are the static scaling exponents which describe the divergence of the static viscosity, nO 6 , at trstatic elastic modulus. Go at tggelation mechanism has been discussed on the basis of several models based on the percolation theory (for review, see ref 16), that provide power laws for the divergence of the static viscosity and the elastic moduli. Characteristic values for the s, t and A exponents are predicted by each of these models (Table I). 

Woo1(24) described the above properties and others listed in Table 1 in a convenient scaling law that relates the dynamic properties, H(t to the static properties, with the reduced time, t/T, by... 

Some values of the characteristic parameters stated in Table 3 are not directly linked with the recommended system of equations. They are rather the product of the critical analysis of literature data to be discussed in the following sections of this book. This point is related primarily to the parameters of critical points. It is established that for the accurate determination of thermodynamic properties of substances in the vicinity of critical points, nonanalytical types of equations must be employed [0.5, 0.6]. In addition, the applicability of the scaling law to adequately describe critical anomalies is proven. The fundamental conditions of the scaling law (static and dynamic) are sufficiently elaborated in review [0.6]. 

Nordmeier and Dauwe [282] reported static light scattering experiments on polystyrene sulphonate at 0.005 m c 2 m and analyzed the data by a worm-like chain model. The resulting total apparent persistence length is compared to the data of [210] in Fig. 18. The agreement is quite poor, and the data of [282] do not follow at all the scaling-law (solid line in Fig. 18). 

The minor chain (MC) model of reptating chains as shown in Figure 1 was proposed by Kim and Wool to analyze interdiffusion in polymer melts. Only those parts of the chains which have escaped by reptation from their initial tubes (the minor chains) at the time of contact can contribute to interdiffusion. Using this model, the average molecular properties of the interface were derived and are summarized in Table 1. The molecular properties have a common scaling law which relates the dynamic properties, H t)y to the static equilibrium properties, //, via the reduced time, t/T, by t ... 

The scaling law approach, and renormalization group calculations, have been extensively developed for the static properties of polymer solutions. Many exponents and universal ratios are known very accurately, but the determination of full scaling functions is much harder and one often needs some reexponentiations (non-universal) to get results which are comparable with experiment.
