Statics, linear, and nonlinear dynamics of entangled polystyrene melts simulated through the primitive chain network model (2008)

Yaoita, Takatoshi, Isaki, Takeharu, Masubuchi, Yuichi, Watanabe, Hiroshi, Ianniruberto, Giovanni, Greco, Francesco, ...

Simulation results of the primitive chain network (PCN) model for entangled polymers are compared here to existing data of diffusion coefficient, linear and nonlinear shear and elongational rheology...

Modelling nonlinear polymer rheology is still challenging (2008)

Marrucci, Giuseppe, Ianniruberto, Giovanni

The new tube model with variable diameter (Marrucci and Ianniruberto, 2004), recently introduced to interpret new elongational data of polymer melts, is here extended to encompass arbitrary flows,...

Biased hooking for primitive chain network simulations of block copolymers (2008)

Masubuchi, Yuichi, Ianniruberto, Giovanni, Marrucci, Giuseppe, Greco, Francesco

Primitive chain network model for block copolymers is used here to simulate molecular dynamics in the entangled state with acceptable computational cost. It was found that i) the hooking procedure...
