Atomistic mechanisms of dynamics in a two-dimensional dodecagonal quasicrystal
Kun Zhao, Matteo Baggioli, Wen-Sheng Xu +2
Quasicrystals have been observed in a variety of materials ranging from metal alloys to block copolymers. However, their structural and dynamical properties cannot be readily descr…
Dissipative particle dynamics simulation plus slip-springs for entangled polymers with various slip-spring densities
Yuichi Masubuchi, Hong-Xia Guo, Fan Wang +5
Slip-spring models are valuable tools for simulating entangled polymers, bridging the gap between bead-spring models with excluded volume and network models with presumed reptation…
Thermodynamic-Dynamic Interrelations in Glass-Forming Polymer Fluids
Xiaolei Xu, Jack F. Douglas, Wen-Sheng Xu
We utilize the lattice cluster theory (LCT) of polymer fluids to show that the configurational entropy, enthalpy, and internal energy are all closely interrelated, as suggested by…
Dynamics of Associative Polymers with High Density of Reversible Bonds
Shifeng Nian, Shalin Patil, Siteng Zhang +6
We design and synthesize unentangled associative polymers carrying unprecedented high fractions of stickers, up to eight per Kuhn segment, that can form strong pairwise hydrogen bo…
Equation of State and Entropy Theory Approach to Thermodynamic Scaling in Polymeric Glass-Forming Liquids
Jack F. Douglas, Wen-Sheng Xu
We show that thermodynamic scaling can be derived by combining the Murnaghan equation of state (EOS) with the generalized entropy theory (GET) of glass formation. In our theory, th…
Polymer Glass Formation: Role of Activation Free Energy, Configurational Entropy, and Collective Motion
Wen-Sheng Xu, Jack F. Douglas, Zhao-Yan Sun
We provide a perspective on polymer glass formation, with an emphasis on models in which the fluid entropy and collective particle motion dominate the theoretical description and d…
