Structure and elasticity of model disordered, polydisperse and defect-free polymer networks
Valerio Sorichetti, Andrea Ninarello, José Ruiz-Franco +5
The elasticity of disordered and polydisperse polymer networks is a fundamental problem of soft matter physics that is still open. Here, we self-assemble polymer networks via simul…
Dynamics of nanoparticles in polydisperse polymer networks: From free diffusion to hopping
Valerio Sorichetti, Virginie Hugouvieux, Walter Kob
Using molecular dynamics simulations we study the static and dynamic properties of spherical nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in a disordered and polydisperse polymer network. Purely r…
Characterizing the mesh size of polymer solutions via the pore size distribution
Valerio Sorichetti, Virginie Hugouvieux, Walter Kob
In order to characterize the geometrical mesh size , we simulate a solution of coarse-grained polymers with densities ranging from the dilute to the concentrated regime and for…
Addition to Structure and dynamics of a polymer-nanoparticle composite: Effect of nanoparticle size and volume fraction
Valerio Sorichetti, Virginie Hugouvieux, Walter Kob
In our previous publication (Ref. 1) we have shown that the data for the normalized diffusion coefficient of the polymers, , falls on a master curve when plotted as a f…
Structure and dynamics of a polymer-nanoparticle composite: Effect of nanoparticle size and volume fraction
Valerio Sorichetti, Virginie Hugouvieux, Walter Kob
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study a semidilute, unentangled polymer solution containing well dispersed, weakly attractive nanoparticles (NP) of size () smaller th…
Structuring polymer gels via catalytic reactions
Virginie Hugouvieux, Walter Kob
We use computer simulations to investigate how a catalytic reaction in a polymer sol can induce the formation of a polymer gel. To this aim we consider a solution of homopolymers i…
Micelle formation, gelation and phase separation of amphiphilic multiblock copolymers
Virginie Hugouvieux, Monique A. V. Axelos, Max Kolb
The phase behaviour of amphiphilic multiblock copolymers with a large number of blocks in semidilute solutions is studied by lattice Monte Carlo simulations. The influence on the r…
Structure and dynamics of l-Ge: Neutron scattering experiments and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations
Virginie Hugouvieux, Emmanuel Farhi, Mark R. Johnson +3
We report the first measurements of the dynamics of liquid germanium (l-Ge) by quasi-elastic neutron scattering on time-of-flight and triple-axis spectrometers. These results are c…
