Self-assembly and glass-formation in a lattice model of telechelic polymer melts: Influence of stiffness of the sticky bonds
Wen-Sheng Xu, Karl F. Freed
The lattice cluster theory (LCT) for strongly interacting, self-assembling telechelic polymers provides a theoretical tool that enables establishing the connections between importa…

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…
