A mesoscopic, mixed particle-and field-based Brownian dynamics methodology for the
simulation of entangled polymer melts has been developed. Polymeric beads consist of …

Compared to linear polymers, star polymers have drawn significant research interest due to
their excellent physical and rheological properties. In this paper, a star-shaped copolymer of …

A multiscale modeling framework is adapted for the in silico prediction of nonlinear shear
rheology of entangled polymer melts. This approach begins with an all-atom model and …

We develop topological methods for characterizing the relationship between polymer chain
entanglement and bulk viscoelastic responses. We introduce generalized Linking Number …

We tested the ability of the discrete slip-spring (DSS) model, which is a variation of the
original model of [Likhtman, AE Macromolecules 2005, 38, 6128. 10.1021/ma050399h], to …

In order to further understand the relaxation behavior of binary blends of star and linear
chains, new polymer blends consisting of linear poly (hydroxybutyrate)(PHB) matrix and …

We address the dynamics of isofrictional bimodal polyisoprene (PI) blends and emphasize
the effect of concentration and topology of the short component on the dynamics of the long …

The aim of the present paper is to analyse the differences between tube-based models
which are widely used for predicting the linear viscoelasticity of monodisperse linear …

We probe the influence of branching on the configurational, packing, and density correlation
function properties of polymer melts of linear and star polymers, with emphasis on molecular …

The topology of chains significantly modifies the dynamical properties of polymer melts.
Here, we extend a recently developed efficient simulation method, namely the slip-spring …
