Influence of Topology on Rheological Properties of Polymer Ring Melts
Ranajay Datta, Peter Virnau
We investigate with numerical simulations the influence of topology and stiffness on macroscopic rheological properties of polymer melts consisting of unknotted, knotted or concate…
Viscosity of flexible and semiflexible ring melts -- molecular origins and flow-induced segregation
Ranajay Datta, Fabian Berressem, Friederike Schmid +2
We investigate with numerical simulations the molecular origin of viscosity in melts of flexible and semiflexible oligomer rings in comparison to corresponding systems with linear…
Influence of ionic conditions on knotting in a coarse-grained model for DNA
Sarah Wettermann, Ranajay Datta, Peter Virnau
We investigate knotting probabilities of long double-stranded DNA strands in a coarse-grained Kratky-Porod model for DNA with Monte Carlo simulations. Various ionic conditions are…
Shear-thinning in Polymer Melts -- Molecular Origins and Hybrid Multiscale Simulations
Ranajay Datta, Leonid Yelash, Friederike Schmid +4
We investigate the molecular origin of shear-thinning in melts of flexible, semiflexible and rigid oligomers with coarse-grained simulations of a sheared melt. Alignment, stretchin…
