Bonded straight and helical flagellar filaments form ultra-low-density glasses
Sevim Yardimci, Thomas Gibaud, Walter Schwenger +4
We study how the three-dimensional shape of rigid filaments determines the microscopic dynamics and macroscopic rheology of entangled semi-dilute Brownian suspensions. To control t…
A thermodynamically consistent constitutive equation describing polymer disentanglement under flow
Benjamin E. Dolata, Peter D. Olmsted
We derive a thermodynamically consistent framework for incorporating entanglement dynamics into constitutive equations for flowing polymer melts. We use this to combine the convect…
Probing the nonequilibrium dynamics of stress, orientation and entanglements in polymer melts with orthogonal interrupted shear simulations
Marco Aurelio Galvani Cunha, Peter D. Olmsted, Mark O. Robbins
Both entangled and unentangled polymer melts exhibit stress overshoots when subject to shearing flow. The size of the overshoot depends on the applied shear rate and is related to…
Microscopic interactions and emerging elasticity in model soft particulate gels
Minaspi Bantawa, Wayan A. Fontaine-Seiler, Peter D. Olmsted +1
We discuss a class of models for particulate gels in which the particle contacts are described by an effective interaction combining a two-body attraction and a three-body angular…
Fluctuating viscoelasticity based on a finite number of dumbbells
Markus Hütter, Peter D. Olmsted, Daniel J. Read
Two alternative routes are taken to derive, on the basis of the dynamics of a finite number of dumbbells, viscoelasticity in terms of a conformation tensor with fluctuations. The f…
Cooperative intramolecular dynamics control the chain-length-dependent glass transition in polymers
Daniel L. Baker, Matthew Reynolds, Robin Masurel +2
The glass transition is a long-standing unsolved problem in materials science. For polymers, our understanding of glass-formation is particularly poor due to the added complexity o…
