Flow-deformed conformations of entangled polymers as persistent random walks
Ismael Yacoubou-Djima, Yitzhak Shnidman
Evolving structure and rheology across Kuhn scale interfaces in entangled polymer fluids under flow play a prominent role in processing of manufactured plastics, and have numerous…
Interfacial Slip in Sheared Polymer Blends
Tak Shing Lo, Maja Mihajlovic, Yitzhak Shnidman +2
We have developed a dynamic self-consistent field theory, without any adjustable parameters, for unentangled polymer blends under shear. Our model accounts for the interaction betw…
A Self-Consistent Field Study of Interfacial Dynamics in Unentangled Homopolymer Fluids in a Sheared Channel
Maja Mihajlovic, Tak Shing Lo, Yitzhak Shnidman
In a preceding paper, we have presented a general lattice formulation of the dynamic self-consistent field (DSCF) theory for inhomogeneous, unentangled homopolymer fluids. Here we…
Dynamic Self-Consistent Field Theory for Unentangled Homopolymer Fluids
Maja Mihajlovic, Tak Shing Lo, Yitzhak Shnidman
We present a lattice formulation of a dynamic self-consistent field (DSCF) theory that is capable of resolving interfacial structure, dynamics and rheology in inhomogeneous, compre…
