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 …

This review concerns modeling studies of the fundamental problem of entangled
(reptational) homopolymer diffusion in melts and nanocomposite materials in comparison to …

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 …

Abstract Hypothesis Wormlike micelles (WLMs) formed due to the self-assembly of
amphiphiles in aqueous solution have similar viscoelastic properties as polymers. Owing to …

A mesoscopic, mixed particle-and field-based Brownian dynamics methodology for the
simulation of entangled polymer melts has been developed. Polymeric beads consist of …

We revisit previously published dielectric and viscoelastic data of binary blends of linear cis-
polyisoprene [Watanabe, H.; Ishida, S.; Matsumiya, Y.; Inoue, T. Macromolecules 2004, 37 …

We develop a full-chain tube-based constitutive model [along the lines of Graham et al. J.
Rheol. 47, 1171 (2003)] for the nonlinear rheology of bidisperse blends of long and short …

We study and model the linear viscoelastic properties of several entangled semi-dilute and
concentrated solutions of linear chains of different molar masses and at different …

We investigate and model the viscoelastic properties of binary blends composed of linear
chains. These systems are indeed very suitable to test the validity and the limit of the …

A new implementation of constraint dynamics for the discrete slip-link model (DSM), which is
statistically consistent with sliding dynamics of the chain, is proposed. The DSM agrees with …
