Learning to Classify Threading in Melts of Rings
Filippo Conforto, Roman Staňo, Jan Smrek +1
Dense melts of nonconcatenated ring polymers exhibit anomalous dynamics and nonlinear rheology, in some cases linked to long-lived inter-ring threading entanglement. Detecting thes…
Persistent Homology Reveals the Role of Stiffness in Forming Topological Glasses in Dense Solutions of Ring Polymers
Shota Goto, Takenobu Nakamura, Davide Michieletto +2
Ring polymers are characterized by topology-specific entanglements called threadings. In the limit of large rings, it is conjectured that a "topological glass" should emerge due to…
Threading-Induced Dynamical Transition in Tadpole-Shaped Polymers
Angelo Rosa, Jan Smrek, Matthew S Turner +1
The relationship between polymer topology and bulk rheology remains a key question in soft matter physics. Architecture-specific constraints (or threadings) are thought to control…
Topological Sieving of Rings According to their Rigidity
Stefano Iubini, Enzo Orlandini, Davide Michieletto +1
We present a novel mechanism for resolving the mechanical rigidity of nanoscopic circular polymers that flow in a complex environment. The emergence of a regime of negative differe…
Glassiness and Heterogeneous Dynamics in Dense Solutions of Ring Polymers
D. Michieletto, N. Nahali, A. Rosa
Understanding how topological constraints affect the dynamics of polymers in solution is at the basis of any polymer theory and it is particularly needed for melts of rings. These…
A Topologically Driven Glass in Ring Polymers
Davide Michieletto, Matthew S. Turner
The static and dynamic properties of ring polymers in concentrated solutions remains one of the last deep unsolved questions in Polymer Physics. At the same time, the nature of the…
