Coupling of nanoparticle dynamics to polymer center-of-mass motion in semidilute polymer solutions

Renjie Chen, Ryan Poling-Skutvik, Arash Nikoubashman +3

We investigate the dynamics of nanoparticles in semidilute polymer solutions when the nanoparticles are comparably sized to the polymer coils using explicit- and implicit-solvent s…
