Semicrystalline polymers products usually adopt a crystallized form in their end-use
environment. These crystallized polymers undergo various deformations under different …

Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations were performed on bulk melts of model
amphiphilic polymer conetworks (APCN), a relatively new macromolecular architecture …

Molecular simulations are powerful tools for revealing the properties of polymers at the
molecular level. In particular, coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations are useful for …

It has previously been shown that polyethylene (PE) with a bimodal molar mass distribution
has a high fracture toughness. Our approach has been to use coarse-grained (CG) …

Blending different molar mass fractions of polyethylene (PE) in order to obtain materials with
higher fracture toughness has previously proven beneficial. Our approach has been to use …

Morphological and mechanical properties of semicrystalline polymers are strongly
influenced by flow-induced crystallization during processing. We perform extensive …

Multilamella polymer crystals are grown from the melt for the first time, in molecular
dynamics simulations of a united-monomer model, with in excess of 1500000 united …

We have performed coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to study the isothermal
crystallization of bimodal and unimodal molecular weight distribution (MWD) polymers with …

The lamellae deformation and cavitation behavior of annealed isotactic polypropylene
during uniaxial stretching are comprehensively investigated by in situ synchrotron small …

Polyamide 4 (PA4) is a biobased and biodegradable polyamide. The high hydrogen bond
density of PA4 bestows it with a high melting point that is close to its thermal decomposition …
