Entropic phase separation in polymer--vitrimer melts
A. A. Rispo Constantinou, B. Magyari, G. Ianniruberto +2
Traditional plastics demand a choice between durability (thermosets) and reprocessability (thermoplastics). Vitrimers are a recent class of polymer network combining both these qua…

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…
