Dynamic surface decoupling in a sheared polymer melt
X. Zhou, D. Andrienko, L. Delle Site +1
We propose that several mechanisms contribute to friction in a polymer melt adsorbed at a structured surface. The first one is the well known disentanglement of bulk polymer chains…
Polymers near Metal Surfaces: Selective Adsorption and Global Conformations
L. Delle Site, C. F. Abrams, A. Alavi +1
We study the properties of a polycarbonate melt near a nickel surface as a model system for the interaction of polymers with metal surfaces by employing a multiscale modeling appro…
Strong Attraction between Charged Spheres due to Metastable Ionized States
Rene Messina, Christian Holm, Kurt Kremer
We report a mechanism which can lead to long range attractions between like-charged spherical macroions, stemming from the existence of metastable ionized states. We show that the…
Self-similar chain conformations in polymer gels
Mathias Puetz, Ralf Everaers, Kurt Kremer
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the swelling of randomly end-cross-linked polymer networks in good solvent conditions. We find that the equilibrium degree of swellin…
Statistical mechanics of double-stranded semi-flexible polymers
T. B. Liverpool, R. Golestanian, K. Kremer
We study the statistical mechanics of double-stranded semi-flexible polymers using both analytical techniques and simulation. We find a transition at some finite temperature, from…
