Strain hardening in bidisperse polymer glasses: Separating the roles of chain orientation and interchain entanglement
Robert S. Hoy, Mark O. Robbins
The effects of entanglement and chain orientation on strain hardening in glassy polymers are separated by examining mixtures of chains with different lengths. Simulations show that…
Thermoreversible Associating Polymer Networks: I. Interplay of Thermodynamics, Chemical Kinetics, and Polymer Physics
Robert S. Hoy, Glenn H. Fredrickson
Hybrid molecular dynamics/Monte Carlo simulations used to study melts of unentangled, thermoreversibly associating supramolecular polymers. In this first of a series of papers, we…
Scaling of the Strain Hardening Modulus of Glassy Polymers with the Flow Stress
M. O. Robbins, R. S. Hoy
In a recent letter, Govaert et al. examined the relationship between strain hardening modulus and flow stress for five different glassy polymers. In each case, res…
Topological analysis of polymeric melts: Chain length effects and fast-converging estimators for entanglement length
Robert S. Hoy, Katerina Foteinopoulou, Martin Kröger
Primitive path analyses of entanglements are performed over a wide range of chain lengths for both bead spring and atomistic polyethylene polymer melts. Estimators for the entangle…
