Lattice model of linear telechelic polymer melts. II. Influence of chain stiffness on basic thermodynamic properties
Wen-Sheng Xu, Karl F. Freed
The lattice cluster theory (LCT) for semiflexible linear telechelic melts, developed in paper I, is applied to examine the influence of chain stiffness on the average degree of sel…
Lattice model of linear telechelic polymer melts. I. Inclusion of chain semiflexibility in the lattice cluster theory
Wen-Sheng Xu, Karl F. Freed
The lattice cluster theory (LCT) for the thermodynamics of polymer systems has recently been reformulated to treat strongly interacting self-assembling polymers composed of fully f…
Glass formation in a mixture of hard disks and hard ellipses
Wen-Sheng Xu, Xiaozheng Duan, Zhao-Yan Sun +1
We present an event-driven molecular dynamics study of glass formation in two-dimensional binary mixtures composed of hard disks and hard ellipses, where both types of particles ha…
Polymer Glass-Formation in Variable Dimension
Wen-Sheng Xu, Jack F. Douglas, Karl F. Freed
We explore the nature of glass-formation in variable spatial dimensionality () based on the generalized entropy theory, a synthesis of the Adam-Gibbs model with direct computati…
Generalized Entropy Theory of Glass Formation in Polymer Melts with Specific Interactions
Wen-Sheng Xu, Karl F. Freed
Chemical structure has been long recognized to greatly influence polymer glass formation, but a general molecular theory that predicts how chemical structure determines the propert…
