Generalized entropy theory of glass-formation in fully flexible polymer melts
Wen-Sheng Xu, Jack F. Douglas, Karl F. Freed
The generalized entropy theory (GET) offers many insights into how molecular parameters influence polymer glass-formation. Given the fact that chain rigidity often plays a critical…
Relaxation dynamics in a binary hard-ellipse liquid
Wen-Sheng Xu, Zhao-Yan Sun, Li-Jia An
Structural relaxation in binary hard spherical particles has been shown recently to exhibit a wealth of remarkable features when size disparity or mixture's composition is varied.…
Influence of Cohesive Energy and Chain Stiffness on Polymer Glass Formation
Wen-Sheng Xu, Karl F. Freed
The generalized entropy theory is applied to assess the joint influence of the microscopic cohesive energy and chain stiffness on glass formation in polymer melts using a minimal m…
Lattice cluster theory for polymer melts with specific interactions
Wen-Sheng Xu, Karl F. Freed
Despite the long-recognized fact that chemical structure and specific interactions greatly influence the thermodynamic properties of polymer systems, a predictive molecular theory…
