Controlled radical polymerization (CRP) provides the polymer chemist with the ability to
produce tailor-made polymers with controlled molar masses, molar mass distributions …

This article reviews current efforts towards quantitative prediction of rheological properties of
industrial polymer resins, based upon their polydisperse branched molecular structure. This …

The properties and function of supramolecular polymer networks are determined not only by
pairwise interchain transient associations but also by chain entanglement and nanoscopic …

We present a detailed systematic investigation of the transient uniaxial extensional response
of a series of well-characterized, anionically synthesized comb polystyrenes and …

A series of novel and narrowly polydispersed regular chain-segmented hyperbranched poly
(tertiary amino methacrylate) s (HPTAM) s with hydrophilic core and hydrophobic shell were …

We present large-scale computer simulations of entangled polymers with symmetric star-like
and Cayley tree-like architectures. Unlike the usual observation for reptational behavior of …

An emerging challenge in polymer physics is the quantitative understanding of the influence
of a macromolecular architecture (ie, branching) on the rheological response of entangled …

In analogy with the pom-pom model, we introduce a simple model for comb polymers with
multiple side-arms attached to a linear backbone by considering a set of coupled equations …

An exact polystyrene-graft-polyisoprene (PS-g-PI) synthesized by iterative anionic
polymerization and graft reaction using diphenylethylene functional groups was …

We provide conclusive evidence of nonmonotonic mechanical behavior in the extension of
long-chain branched polymer melts. While nonmonotonic behavior is known to occur for …
