Multi-component generalized mode-coupling theory: Predicting dynamics from structure in glassy mixtures
Simone Ciarella, Chengjie Luo, Vincent E. Debets +1
The emergence of glassy dynamics and the glass transition in dense disordered systems is still not fully understood theoretically. Mode-coupling theory (MCT) has shown to be effect…
Understanding, predicting, and tuning the fragility of vitrimeric polymers
Simone Ciarella, Rutger A. Biezemans, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
Fragility is an empirical property that describes how abruptly a glass-forming material solidifies upon supercooling. The degree of fragility carries important implications for the…
Stimuli-responsive behavior of PNiPAm microgels under interfacial confinement
Johannes Harrer, Marcel Rey, Simone Ciarella +3
The volume phase transition of microgels is one of the most paradigmatic examples of stimuli-responsiveness, enabling a collapse from a highly swollen microgel state into a densely…
Dynamics of vitrimers: defects as a highway to stress relaxation
Simone Ciarella, Francesco Sciortino, Wouter G. Ellenbroek
We propose a coarse-grained model to investigate stress relaxation in star-polymer networks induced by dynamic bond exchange processes. We show how the swapping mechanism, once act…
