Segment-Scale, Force-Level Theory of Mesoscopic Dynamic Localization and Entropic Elasticity in Entangled Chain Polymer Liquids
Zachary E. Dell, Kenneth S. Schweizer
We develop a segment-scale, force-based theory for the breakdown of the unentangled Rouse model and subsequent emergence of isotropic mesoscopic localization and entropic elasticit…

Microscopic Theory for the Role of Attractive Forces in the Dynamics of Supercooled Liquids
Zachary E. Dell, Kenneth S. Schweizer
We formulate a microscopic, no adjustable parameter, theory of activated relaxation in supercooled liquids directly in terms of the repulsive and attractive forces within the frame…
