Entropy-Driven Preordering Assists Nucleation in Polyethylene
Renkuan Cao, Fan Peng, Yunhan Zhang +4
Non-classical two-step nucleation including preordering and crystal nucleation has been widely proposed to challenge the one-step nucleation framework in diverse materials, while w…

Shear banding in monodisperse polymer melt
Fan Peng, Renkuan Cao, Cui Nie +2
We performed a series of molecular dynamics simulations on monodisperse polymer melts to investigate the formation of shear banding. Under high shear rates, shear banding occurs, w…

Entanglement on nucleation barrier of polymer crystal
Fan Peng, Cui Nie, Tingyu Xu +4
We propose a theoretical approach to quantitatively account for the role of entanglement in the nucleation of polymer melts, which is the unique feature of polymer differentiated f…
