Slow crack growth (SCG) is a time-dependent quasi-brittle type of failure that polyethylene
(PE) materials exhibit under low stress levels. The interplay between the crack and its plastic …

For the simulations of polymeric systems, coarse‐grained (CG) molecular dynamics
simulations are computationally demanding not only because of their high computational …

The electrical properties of epoxy hybrids filled with Graphene Nanosheets (GNs) and Multi-
Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) were investigated by Tunneling Atomic Force …

In this work, we propose a combined computational and experimental study to investigate
the effect of bidispersity of polyethylene (PE) chains on the interface and interphase …

Despite intense investigation, the mechanisms governing the mechanical reinforcement of
polymers by dispersed nanoparticles have only been partially clarified. This is especially …

Equimolar blends of a partly deuterated hydroxy terminated poly (styrene d8-st-methyl
methacrylate) copolymer with average molecular weight (Mn) of 11 200 g mol− 1 and a …

Blends with different compositions of a partly deuterated hydroxy terminated poly (styrene d8-
st-methyl methacrylate) copolymer with average molecular weight (Mn) of 11 200 g mol− 1 …

We propose a three-dimensional model implementing a self-consistent field (SCF)
mathematical formulation to predict the equilibrium orientation and morphology of grafted …

We develop a meshless discretization scheme for particle-field Brownian dynamics
simulations. The density is assigned on the particle level using a weighting kernel with finite …

We study by molecular dynamics simulations the absorption of polypropylene (PP) chains
within a dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) lipid membrane in aqueous solvent. DPPC …
