Glass transition temperature of thin polymer films
Hsiao-Ping Hsu, Kurt Kremer
The glass transition temperature and its connection to statistical properties of confined and free-standing polymer films of varying thickness containing unentangled to highly enta…
Data-driven identification and analysis of the glass transition in polymer melts
Atreyee Banerjee, Hsiao-Ping Hsu, Kurt Kremer +1
Understanding the nature of glass transition, as well as precise estimation of the glass transition temperature for polymeric materials, remain open questions in both experimental…
Efficient equilibration of confined and free-standing films of highly entangled polymer melts
Hsiao-Ping Hsu, Kurt Kremer
Equilibration of polymer melts containing highly entangled long polymer chains in confinement or with free surfaces is a challenge for computer simulations. We approach this proble…
Clustering of entanglement points in highly strained polymer melts
Hsiao-Ping Hsu, Kurt Kremer
Polymer melts undergoing large deformation by uniaxial elongation are studied by molecular dynamics simulations of bead-spring chains in melts. Applying a primitive path analysis t…
A coarse-grained polymer model for studying the glass transition
Hsiao-Ping Hsu, Kurt Kremer
To study the cooling behavior and the glass transition of polymer melts in bulk and with free surfaces a coarse-grained weakly semi-flexible polymer model is developed. Based on a…
Chain retraction in highly entangled stretched polymer melts
Hsiao-Ping Hsu, Kurt Kremer
We use computer simulations to study the relaxation of strongly deformed highly entangled polymer melts in the non-linear viscoelastic regime, focusing on anisotropic chain conform…
