abstract = {We study changes in the dynamics of polymer chains confined
to cylindrical nanochannels within aluminum oxide membranes.
Specifically, a proton time-domain NMR technique is used to
assess the effect of transient wall contacts on the
time-averaged orientational order of poly(butadiene)
segments in melts with different molecular weights (MW).
Previous work has evidenced that the weakly interacting
polymer, residing in ∼100 μm long, 20 and 60 nm wide
channels, shows no significant confinement-related changes
in the segmental (α) relaxation time and only weak (less
than a factor of 2) changes in the micrometer-scale
diffusivity. In the relevant temperature range above 340 K,
we here use samples with pores oriented at different angles
with respect to the main magnetic field to study the
macroscopic anisotropy of segmental rotations and the effect
of slower motions in regimes III and IV of the tube model up
to the milliseconds time scale. We show that the pore walls
exert a significant orientation effect on the chains,
measured in terms of a time-averaged order parameter with a
related length scale of one to a few nanometers, coexisting
for high molecular weight (MW) inhomogeneously with
bulk-like behavior in the pore center. Low MW with fewer
than about 10 entanglements as well as low MW liquids
exhibit a homogeneous response, with an overall residual
orientation that represents a diffusively averaged quantity
reflecting the pore geometry. We support our findings by a
simulation model based upon one-dimensional curvilinear
chain diffusion along the primitive path. The study is
complemented by deuterium NMR experiments on a labeled
poly(dimethylsiloxane) sample, in which strong surface
contacts prevent full diffusive averaging.},
