Thermal Breakage and Self-Healing of a Polymer Chain under Tensile Stress
A. Ghosh, D. I. Dimitrov, V. G. Rostiashvili +2
We consider the thermal breakage of a tethered polymer chain of discrete segments coupled by Morse potentials under constant tensile stress. The chain dynamics at the onset of frac…
Dynamics of a stretched nonlinear polymer chain
M. Febbo, A. Milchev, V. Rostiashvili +2
We study the relaxation dynamics of a coarse-grained polymer chain at different degrees of stretching by both analytical means and numerical simulations. The macromolecule is model…
Structure of Polymer Brushes in Cylindrical Tubes: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Dimitar I. Dimitrov, Andrey Milchev, Kurt Binder +1
Molecular Dynamics simulations of a coarse-grained bead-spring model of flexible macromolecules tethered with one end to the surface of a cylindrical pore are presented. Chain leng…
Polymer Brushes in Cylindrical Pores: Simulation versus Scaling Theory
D. I. Dimitrov, A. Milchev, K. Binder
The structure of flexible polymers endgrafted in cylindrical pores of diameter D is studied as a function of chain length N and grafting density σ, assuming good solvent conditions…
