Microscopic Description of Entanglements in Polyethylene Networks and Melts: Strong, Weak, Pairwise, and Collective Attributes
Stefanos D. Anogiannakis, Christos Tzoumanekas, Doros N. Theodorou
We present atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of two Polyethylene systems where all entanglements are trapped: a perfect network, and a melt with grafted chain ends. We exami…
A study of the entanglement in systems with periodic boundary conditions
E. Panagiotou, C. Tzoumanekas, S. Lambropoulou +2
We define the local periodic linking number, LK, between two oriented closed or open chains in a system with three-dimensional periodic boundary conditions. The properties of LK in…
Topological Analysis of Linear Polymer Melts
Christos Tzoumanekas, Doros N. Theodorou
We introduce an algorithm for the reduction of computer generated atomistic polymer samples to networks of primitive paths. By examining network ensembles of Polyethylene and cis-1…
