Since their first appearance in the 1970s, optical tweezers have been successfully exploited
for a variety of applications throughout the natural sciences, revolutionising the field of …

A hierarchical (triple scale) simulation methodology is presented for the prediction of the
dynamical and rheological properties of high molecular-weight entangled polymer melts …

Vitrimers are associative covalent adaptable networks that undergo reversible bond-
exchange reactions while maintaining a fixed cross-linking density with changing …

We present a new, free, and open source reptate (rheology of entangled polymers: toolkit for
analysis of theory and experiment) software package for viewing, exchanging, and …

The rheological properties of polycatenanes were investigated by coarse-grained molecular
dynamics simulations using the Kremer–Grest-type bead-spring model. To prevent the …

Although the tube models have attained remarkable success, development of a simulation
method for entangled branch polymer dynamics is still a challenge. In this study, the …

Understanding the biomechanical properties of red blood cells (RBCs) is crucial for many
pathological analyses and diagnoses of human diseases. Here, we construct the so-called …

It has been argued that linear microrheology with optical tweezers (MOT) of living systems
“is not an option” because of the wide gap between the observation time required to collect …

We study elastomeric networks using dissipative-particle-dynamics simulations. This soft-
core method gives access to mesoscopic time and length scales and is potentially capable …

We present Simu-D, a software suite for the simulation and successive identification of local
structures of atomistic systems, based on polymers, under extreme conditions, in the bulk, on …
