The Influence of Crosslinking and Deformation on Polymer Crystallization and Melting: A Molecular Dynamics Study

Atmika Bhardwaj, Huzaifa Shabbir, Jens-Uwe Sommer +1

We investigate the crystallization of crosslinked and entangled polymers under external deformation using a coarse-grained poly(vinyl alcohol) (CG-PVA) model and molecular dynamics…
