Shear Banding in Simulations of Polymer Melts
Lucas L. Nelson, Gary S. Grest, Peter D. Olmsted
Results from numerical simulations of polymers under shear flow are compared with predictions for shear banding based on a model coupling Rolie-Poly-like tube dynamics to the entan…

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…

A fast transferable method for predicting the glass transition temperature of polymers from chemical structure
Sebastian Brierley-Croft, Peter D. Olmsted, Peter J. Hine +4
We present a new method that successfully predicts the glass transition temperature of polymers based on their monomer structure. The model combines ideas from…
