Ring polymers have fascinated theorists, simulators, and experimentalists as they are the
simplest polymer without ends, giving rise to important topology related properties. We …

We present a comprehensive experimental rheological dataset for purified entangled ring
polystyrenes and their blends with linear chains in nonlinear shear and elongation. In …

Linear viscoelastic properties in both melt and solution states are reported for a series of
poly (3, 6-dioxa-1, 8-octanedithiol)(polyDODT) made by reversible radical recombination …

The absence of free ends is known to impart unique properties in ring polymers. Using
critically fractionated samples (polystyrenes, polyisoprenes and polybutadienes), that are as …

Inspired by advances in the chemical synthesis of interlocking polymer architectures,
extensive molecular dynamics simulations have been conducted to study the dynamical …

Molecular simulations are used to show that an entanglement network exists in
nonconcatenated ring polymers of sufficiently long contour length when they are cooled …

We performed molecular dynamics simulations with a coarse-grained model to investigate
the capillary filling dynamics of polymer chains in nanopores. Short chains fill slower than …

Long molecular dynamics simulations are performed for dilute solutions of ring poly
(ethylene oxide)(PEO) molecules in matrices of linear PEO chains where we systematically …

Molecular dynamics simulations and Rouse theory suitably adapted for polymer chains
adsorbed by one or both of their ends are combined to offer a quantitative description of the …

Using dynamic Monte Carlo simulations based on the bond-fluctuation model, we
systematically investigate the static and dynamic properties of a tracer ring polymer in a melt …
