The mechanical and physical properties of polymeric materials originate from the interplay of
phenomena at different spatial and temporal scales. As such, it is necessary to adopt …

Rheological behavior of polymeric liquids has been considered to be universally determined
by a few time-independent molecular parameters (such as the Rouse relaxation time and …

The Kremer–Grest (KG) polymer model is a standard model for studying generic polymer
properties in molecular dynamics simulations. It owes its popularity to its simplicity and …

We investigate the nonlinear shear and uniaxial extensional rheology of entangled
polystyrene (PS) melts and solutions having the same number Z of entanglements, hence …

We provide a Perspective on recent findings in extensional rheology for polymer melts and
solutions with different macromolecular architectures. For linear polymer systems, we focus …

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 …

In the melt state at equilibrium, entangled nonconcatenated ring macromolecules adapt
more compact conformations compared to their linear analogs and do not form an …

We review constitutive modeling of solutions and melts of linear polymers, focusing on
changes in rheological behavior in shear and extensional flow as the concentration …

It has been established that entangled polymer dynamics can be reasonably described by
single chain models such as tube and slip-link models. Although the entanglement effect is a …

Cellulose derivatives containing associating hydrophobic groups along their hydrophilic
backbone are used as rheology modifiers in the formulation of water-based spray paints …
