The mechanical and physical properties of polymeric materials originate from the interplay of
phenomena at different spatial and temporal scales. As such, it is necessary to adopt …

It has been established that entangled polymer dynamics can be reasonably described by
single chain models such as tube and slip-link models. Although the entanglement effect is a …

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

We calculate the plateau moduli of several single-chain slip-link and slip-spring models for
entangled polymers. In these models, the entanglement effects are phenomenologically …

For entangled linear monodisperse polymers, uniaxial elongational flow behavior was
examined with the primitive chain network (PCN) simulation, which was originally formulated …

Entanglement dynamics of polymers under fast elongation has not been fully understood.
Namely, the steady-state uniaxial elongational viscosity of entangled polystyrene (PS) …

Birefringence measurement demonstrates that the segment orientation of entangled
polymers overshoots on start-up of fast shear [Pearson et al. J. Rheol. 1989 33, 517–535] …

This work elucidates the effect of both temperature and molecular length on the
conformational and structural properties as well as on the entanglement statistics of long …

Recent simulations of entangled polymer dynamics are based on slip-link models pioneered
by Hua and Schieber (J. Chem. Phys. 1998, 109, 10018). In this study, we compare different …

In some literature, entanglement molecular weight M e is discussed as a material property
that characterizes magnitudes of entanglement for polymeric liquids. However, M e was …
