Primitive chain network simulations of the creep of entangled polymers
Yuichi Masubuchi, Giovanni Ianniruberto, Giuseppe Marrucci
Although the behavior of entangled polymers in startup shear flows with constant shear rates has been thoroughly investigated, the response under creep has not been frequently cons…
Persistence length and plateau modulus of semiflexible entangled polymers in primitive chain network simulations
Yuichi Masubuchi, Manlio Tassieri, Giovanni Ianniruberto +1
The relationship between the plateau modulus (G_0) and the persistence length (L_p) of entangled semiflexible polymers is still uncertain. Some previous theoretical models have pre…
Primitive Chain Network Simulations of Entangled Melts of Symmetric and Asymmetric Star Polymers in Uniaxial Elongational Flows
Yuichi Masubuchi, Giovanni Ianniruberto, Giuseppe Marrucci
Ianniruberto and Marrucci developed a theory whereby entangled branched polymers behave like linear ones in fast elongational flows. In order to test such prediction, Huang et al.…
Wall slip in primitive chain network simulations of shear startup of entangled polymers and its effect on the shear stress undershoot
Yuichi Masubuchi, Dimitris Vlassopoulos, Giovanni Ianniruberto +1
In some recent experiments on entangled polymers of stress growth in startup of fast shear flows an undershoot in the shear stress is observed following the overshoot, i.e., before…
Mechanical Properties of End-crosslinked Entangled Polymer Networks using Sliplink Brownian Dynamics Simulations
Julian Oberdisse, Giovanni Ianniruberto, Francesco Greco +1
The mechanical properties of a polymeric network containing both crosslinks and sliplinks (entanglements) are studied using a multi-chain Brownian dynamics simulation. We coarse-gr…
