The addition of nanoparticles (NPs) to a polymer matrix, forming a polymer nanocomposite
(PNC), is known to alter the microscopic dynamic processes of both species which leads to …

Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) is one of the most efficient mesoscale coarse-grained
methodologies for modeling soft matter systems. Here, we comprehensively review the …

This paper describes and provides Z1+, the successor of the Z-and Z1-codes for topological
analyses of mono-and polydisperse entangled linear polymeric systems, in the presence or …

The mechanical and physical properties of polymeric materials originate from the interplay of
phenomena at different spatial and temporal scales. As such, it is necessary to adopt …

Over the past two decades polymer nanocomposites have received tremendous interest
from industry and academia due to their advanced properties comparative to polymer …

Understanding the molecular mechanism of mechanical response under a cyclic loading is
of fundamental importance in designing high-performance elastomers with a long service …

The fractal globule state is a popular model for describing chromatin packing in eukaryotic
nuclei. Here we provide a scaling theory and dissipative particle dynamics computer …

We simulate and theoretically analyze the properties of entangled polymer melts confined in
thin film and cylindrical geometries. Macromolecular-scale conformational changes are …

This review concerns modeling studies of the fundamental problem of entangled
(reptational) homopolymer diffusion in melts and nanocomposite materials in comparison to …

We investigate the effect of various spherical nanoparticles on chain dimensions in polymer
melts for high nanoparticle loading which is larger than the percolation threshold, using …
