The Interplay Between Liquid-Liquid Phase Equilibria, Sequence, and Tg in Copolymers
Makayla R. Branham-Ferrari, David S. Simmons
Copolymerization is commonly employed to tune polymers' glass formation and improve properties such as ion conductivity and adhesion. Classically, mixing rules such as the Fox equa…

Depth-dependent interplay of dynamical heterogeneity and chain dynamics at the surface of glass-forming polymers
Bao T. Ma, David S. Simmons
Polymer thin films exhibit pronounced interfacial mobility gradients that modify chain relaxation, yet how these gradients govern chain-scale dynamics across depth remains incomple…
