Field-cycling (FC) NMR relaxometry is a very important source of information on dynamical
and structural features of molecules. It is especially well established for liquids and …

To optimize automation for polymer processing, attempts have been made to simulate the
flow of entangled polymers. In industry, fluid dynamics simulations with phenomenological …

A scaling model of self-similar conformations and dynamics of nonconcatenated entangled
ring polymers is developed. Topological constraints force these ring polymers into compact …

We combine linear viscoelastic measurements and modeling in order to explore the
dynamics of blends of the same-molecular-weight ring and linear polymers in the regime of …

Ion-containing polymers have potential as single-ion conducting battery electrolyte
materials. Their conductivity is often too low for such applications due to the low dielectric …

Using a benchtop NMR spectrometer, we performed proton multiple-quantum NMR
experiments to study the dynamics of well-entangled linear poly (butadiene), poly …

Understanding how entanglements affect the behavior of polymeric complex fluids is an
open challenge in many fields. To elucidate the nature and consequence of entanglements …

We present an extensive set of simulation results for the stress relaxation in equilibrium and
step-strained bead-spring polymer melts. The data allow us to explore the chain dynamics …

The dynamics of polymer melts and concentrated solutions is notoriously slow due to the fact
that long polymer chains cannot cross each other and therefore find themselves entangled …

The aim of this study is to revisit the characterization of entanglement density in polyethylene
melts by studying a series of well-defined, high molecular weight polyethylene materials via …
