Flow-driven Stretch Fluctuations Cause Anomalous Rate-Thinning In Elongating Associative Polymers
Songyue Liu, Thomas C. O'Connor
We use nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to verify recent tube-model predictions that associative polymer networks exhibit broad stretch fluctuations during elongationa…

Measuring topological constraint relaxation in ring-linear polymer blends
Daniel L. Vigil, Ting Ge, Michael Rubinstein +2
Polymers are an effective test-bed for studying topological constraints in condensed matter due to a wide array of synthetically-available chain topologies. When linear and ring po…
