Stress Drops Associated with Surface Crack Formation in Photo-aged Polypropylene during Three-Point Bending
Kazuya Haremaki, Yusuke Koide, Takashi Uneyama +2
The paper studies how UV‑induced aging creates a depth‑dependent embrittlement in polypropylene, causing discrete stress drops during three‑point bending when the aged surface is u…
Effect of flow kinematics on extensional viscosity of dilute polymer solutions
Yusuke Koide, Takato Ishida, Takashi Uneyama +1
We investigate the effect of flow kinematics on the extensional viscosity of dilute polymer solutions by conducting dissipative particle dynamics simulations under uniaxial, planar…
Relation between extensional viscosity and polymer conformation in dilute polymer solutions
Yusuke Koide, Takato Ishida, Takashi Uneyama +1
We investigate extensional viscosity and polymer conformation in dilute polymer solutions under uniaxial extensional flow using dissipative particle dynamics simulations. At high e…
Effects of Stirring Time on Formation of Microplastics Fragmented from Photo-aged Polypropylene
Kazuya Haremaki, Takumitsu Kida, Yusuke Koide +3
This paper examines the evolution of microplastic (MP) size distributions fragmented from photo-aged polypropylene (PP) in stirred water. PP specimens fragmented into MPs with thei…
A Review on Molecular Simulations for the Rupture of Polymer Networks
Yuichi Masubuchi, Takato Ishida, Yusuke Koide +1
Molecular simulations provide a powerful means to unravel the complex relationships between network architecture and the mechanical response of polymer networks, with a particular…
Influence of Stretching Boundary Conditions on Fracture in Phantom Star Polymer Networks: From Volume to Cross-sectional Area Conservation
Yuichi Masubuchi, Takato Ishida, Yusuke Koide +1
This study systematically investigates the effect of stretching boundary conditions, ranging from conservation of cross-sectional area to conservation of volume, on the rupture beh…
