Chain-length-dependent correlated molecular motion in polymers
Matthew Reynolds, Daniel L. Baker, Peter D. Olmsted +1
We show how dynamic heterogeneities (DH), a hallmark of glass-forming materials, depend on chain flexibility and chain length in polymers. For highly flexible polymers, a relativel…

Cooperative intramolecular dynamics control the chain-length-dependent glass transition in polymers
Daniel L. Baker, Matthew Reynolds, Robin Masurel +2
The glass transition is a long-standing unsolved problem in materials science. For polymers, our understanding of glass-formation is particularly poor due to the added complexity o…
