We review the methodology, algorithmic implementation and performance characteristics of
a hierarchical modeling scheme for the generation, equilibration and topological analysis of …

A fundamental and long-standing problem in polymer physics is to deduce the relationship
between the topology of a polymer and its dynamics. Generalized Gaussian structures …

A book of 420 pages with the simple title Rheology, written in 2006, that's intriguing! After an
introduction and a literature survey (citing many of the classical works on fluid mechanics …

The dynamics of entangled flexible polymers is dominated by physics general to many
chemical systems. It is an appealing interdisciplinary field where experimental and …

Polymer materials are multiscale systems by definition. Already the description of a single
macromolecule involves a multitude of scales, and cooperative processes in polymer …

A recent constitutive equation derived from molecular considerations on a model
architecture containing two branch points a “pom-pom” captures the qualitative rheological …

Linear mono-and polydisperse homopolymer melts have been investigated with Fourier
transformation rheology (FT rheology) to quantify their nonlinear behavior under oscillatory …

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

The “pom-pom” model of McLeish and Larson [J. Rheol. 42, 81–110 (1998)] provides a
simple molecular theory for the nonlinear rheology of long chain branched polymer melts. A …

The damping function has been a concept introduced in rheology since more than 30 years
ago, and although a similar concept was already earlier implemented in studying rubber …
