We survey results of computer simulations for the structure and dynamics of supercooled
polymer melts and films. Our survey is mainly concerned with features of a coarse grained …

We investigate the fast β-and Johari–Goldstein (JG) β-relaxation processes, along with the
elastic scattering response of glass-forming (GF) liquids and the boson peak, in a simulated …

Cross-linking is known to play a pivotal role in the relaxation dynamics and mechanical
properties of thermoset polymers, which are commonly used in structural applications …

We investigate the effect of antiplasticizer additives on long-wavelength thermodynamic
properties relating to the efficiency of molecular packing (density ρ and isothermal …

The emergence of the solid state in glass-forming materials upon cooling is accompanied by
changes in both thermodynamic and viscoelastic properties and by a precipitous drop in …

Equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations on amorphous polymers filled with solid
nanoparticles show that mechanical reinforcement results from the formation of a long-lived …

It has long been thought that shear band (SB) formation in amorphous solids initiates from
relatively “soft” regions in the material in which large-scale non-affine deformations become …

The effects of flexibility and chemical composition in the variation of the glass transition
temperature are obtained by using the Lindemann criteria, which relates melting …

Leveraging material extrusion 3D printing of high solid suspensions for rapid manufacturing
in future space missions requires materials compatible with the unique environments found …

The nonlocal viscosity kernels of polymer melts have been determined by means of
equilibrium molecular dynamics upon cooling toward the glass transition. Previous results …
