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…
Resolving Dynamic Properties of Polymers through Coarse-Grained Computational Studies
K. Michael Salerno, Anupriya Agrawal, Dvora Perahia +1
Coupled length and time scales determine the dynamic behavior of polymers and underlie their unique viscoelastic properties. To resolve the long-time dynamics it is imperative to d…
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…
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…
