Plateau moduli of Kremer-Grest models for commodity polymer melts
Carsten Svaneborg, Ralf Everaers
We estimate the plateau moduli of highly entangled end-pinned bead-spring polymer melts with Z = 100 and Z = 200 from the time-dependent elastic response to a step strain, which we…
Multiscale equilibration of highly entangled isotropic model polymer melts
Carsten Svaneborg, Ralf Everaers
We present a computationally efficient multiscale method for preparing equilibrated, isotropic long chain model polymer melts. As an application we generate Kremer-Grest melts of $…
Computational study of the cross-link and the entanglement contributions to the elastic properties of model PDMS networks
Igor A. Gula, Hossein Ali Karimi-Varzaneh, Carsten Svaneborg
We built randomly cross-linked model PDMS networks and used Molecular Dynamics Methods to obtain stress-strain curves. Mooney-Rivlin (MR) analysis was used to estimate the shear mo…
Kremer-Grest models for commodity polymer melts: Linking theory, experiment and simulation at the Kuhn scale
Ralf Everaers, Hossein Ali Karimi-Varzaneh, Nils Hojdis +2
The Kremer-Grest (KG) polymer model is a standard model for studying generic polymer properties in Molecular Dynamics simulations. It owes its popularity to its simplicity and comp…
Characteristic time and length scales in melts of Kremer-Grest bead-spring polymers with wormlike bending stiffness
Carsten Svaneborg, Ralf Everaers
The Kremer-Grest (KG) model is a standard for studying generic polymer properties. Here we have equilibrated KG melts up to and beyond entanglements per chain for varying cha…
Multiscale approach to equilibrating model polymer melts
Carsten Svaneborg, Hossein Ali Karimi-Varzaneh, Nils Hojdis +2
We present an effective and simple multiscale method for equilibrating Kremer Grest model polymer melts of varying stiffness. In our approach, we progressively equilibrate the melt…
