Dynamics and Rheology of Ring-Linear Blend Semidilute Solutions in Extensional Flow: Single Molecule Experiments
Yuecheng Zhou, Charles D. Young, Kathryn E. Regan +7
Ring polymers exhibit unique flow properties due to their closed chain topology. Despite recent progress, we have not yet achieved a full understanding of the nonequilibrium flow b…

Simulation of semidilute polymer solutions in planar extensional via conformationally averaged Brownian noise
Charles D. Young, Charles E. Sing
The interplay between concentration, flow, hydrodynamic interactions (HI), and topological interactions governing semidilute polymer dynamics in strong flows are challenging to cha…
