Over the past few years, the concurrent (1) development of polymer synthesis and (2)
introduction of new mathematical models for polymer dynamics have evolved the classical …

We compare viscoelastic properties of several polystyrene solutions and melts with the
same number of entanglements. It is demonstrated that the modulus and time can be shifted …

Transient structures based on associative polymers can deliver complex functions; as such,
they hold promise for advanced applications as in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and …

The design and effective application of supramolecular transient polymer networks based on
the assembly of entangled polymer building blocks requires not only precise description of …

Many of the fascinating properties of natural materials emerge upon phase separation and
clustering. However, biomimetic polymeric materials often demonstrate limited performances …

The linear viscoelastic properties of entangled hydrolysed poly (n-butyl acrylate) PnBA
copolymers, with varying density of functional moieties, ie, acrylic acid (AA) groups, have …

We carried out molecular dynamics simulations to study the crystallization of long polymers
in a concentrated solution made by an explicit solvent of short chains. The weight-averaged …

Understanding the dynamics of polymeric liquids has great importance in the design and
processing of soft materials. While slow flow dynamics is now resolved, fast flow dynamics is …

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 study the entanglement properties of polyelectrolytes in salt-free and excess-salt
solutions, corresponding to rod-like and expanded coil conformations, respectively. While …
