Giant fluctuations in sheared viscoelastic fluids emerging in a mesoscale simulation
Airidas Korolkovas
Shear flow is known to induce huge density fluctuations in otherwise clear and uniform polymer solutions. This effect is rooted in the elasticity of the entangled polymer network,…
The viscoelastic signature underpinning polymer deformation under shear flow
Airidas Korolkovas, Sylvain Prévost, Maciej Kawecki +4
Entangled polymers are deformed by a strong shear flow. The shape of the polymer, called the form factor, is measured by small angle neutron scattering. However, the real-space mol…
5D Entanglement in Star Polymer Dynamics
Airidas Korolkovas
Star polymers are within the most topologically entangled macromolecules. For a star to move the current theory is that one arm must retract to the branch point. The probability of…
Shear deformation of low-density polymer brushes in a good solvent
Airidas Korolkovas, Philipp Gutfreund, Alexis Chennevière +4
Self-consistent field approach is used to model a single end-tethered polymer chain on a substrate subject to various forces in three dimensions. Starting from a continuous Gaussia…
Dynamical structure of entangled polymers simulated under shear flow
Airidas Korolkovas, Philipp Gutfreund, Max Wolff
The non-linear response of entangled polymers to shear flow is complicated. Its current understanding is framed mainly as a rheological description in terms of the complex viscosit…
Polymer brush collapse under shear flow
Airidas Korolkovas, Cesar Rodriguez-Emmenegger, Andres de los Santos Pereira +6
Shear responsive surfaces offer potential advances in a number of applications. Surface functionalisation using polymer brushes is one route to such properties, particularly in the…
