Topological Linking Drives Anomalous Thickening of Ring Polymers In Weak Extensional Flows
Thomas C. O'Connor, Ting Ge, Michael Rubinstein +1
Molecular dynamics simulations confirm recent extensional flow experiments showing ring polymer melts exhibit strong extension-rate thickening of the viscosity at Weissenberg numbe…
O'Connor, Alvarez, and Robbins Reply to Xu et al. (arXiv:1808.05390)
Thomas C. O'Connor, Nicolas J. Alvarez, Mark O. Robbins
The preceding Comment by Xu et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 059803 (2019); arXiv:1808.05390) erroneously applies the entropic stress expression in our Letter (T.C. O'Connor et al., P…
Relating Chain Conformations to Extensional Stress In Entangled Polymer Melts
Thomas C. O'Connor, Nicolas J. Alvarez, Mark O. Robbins
Nonlinear extensional flows are common in polymer processing but remain challenging theoretically because dramatic stretching of chains deforms the entanglement network far from eq…
