Measuring topological constraint relaxation in ring-linear polymer blends
Daniel L. Vigil, Ting Ge, Michael Rubinstein +2
Polymers are an effective test-bed for studying topological constraints in condensed matter due to a wide array of synthetically-available chain topologies. When linear and ring po…
Dynamics of Associative Polymers with High Density of Reversible Bonds
Shifeng Nian, Shalin Patil, Siteng Zhang +6
We design and synthesize unentangled associative polymers carrying unprecedented high fractions of stickers, up to eight per Kuhn segment, that can form strong pairwise hydrogen bo…
Super-stretchable Elastomer from Cross-linked Ring Polymers
Jiuling Wang, Thomas C. O'Connor, Gary S. Grest +1
The stretchability of polymeric materials is critical to many applications such as stretchable electronics and soft robotics, yet the stretchability of conventional cross-linked li…
Composite Entanglement Topology and Extensional Rheology of Symmetric Ring-Linear Polymer Blends
Thomas C. O'Connor, Ting Ge, Gary S. Grest
Extensive molecular simulations are applied to characterize the equilibrium dynamics, entanglement topology, and nonlinear extensional rheology of symmetric ring-linear polymer ble…
Topological Linking Drives Anomalous Thickening of Ring Polymers In Weak Extensional Flows
Thomas C. O'Connor, Ting Ge, Michael Rubinstein +1
Molecular dynamics simulations confirm recent extensional flow experiments showing ring polymer melts exhibit strong extension-rate thickening of the viscosity at Weissenberg numbe…
Chain Length Dispersity Effects on Mobility of Entangled Polymers
Brandon Peters, K. Michael Salerno, Ting Ge +2
While nearly all theoretical and computational studies of entangled polymer melts have focused on uniform samples, polymer synthesis routes always result in some dispersity, albeit…
Crazing of Nanocomposites with Polymer-Tethered Nanoparticles
Dong Meng, Sanat K. Kumar, Ting Ge +2
The crazing behavior of polymer nanocomposites formed by blending polymer grafted nanoparticles with an entangled polymer melt is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. We focu…
Tensile Fracture of Welded Polymer Interfaces: Miscibility, Entanglements and Crazing
Ting Ge, Gary S. Grest, Mark O. Robbins
Large-scale molecular simulations are performed to investigate tensile failure of polymer interfaces as a function of welding time . Changes in the tensile stress, mode of failu…
Healing of polymer interfaces: Interfacial dynamics, entanglements, and strength
Ting Ge, Mark O. Robbins, Dvora Perahia +1
Self-healing of polymer films often takes place as the molecules diffuse across a damaged region, above their melting temperature. Using molecular dynamics simulations we probe the…
Structure and Strength at Immiscible Polymer Interfaces
Ting Ge, Gary S. Grest, Mark O. Robbins
Thermal welding of polymer-polymer interfaces is important for integrating polymeric elements into devices. When two different polymers are joined, the strength of the weld depends…
Polymer Welding: Strength Through Entanglements
Ting Ge, Flint Pierce, Dvora Perahia +2
Large-scale simulations of thermal welding of polymers are performed to investigate the rise of mechanical strength at the polymer-polymer interface with the welding time. The weld…
