The recent (from 2010 onward) contributions of quasielastic neutron scattering techniques
(time of flight, backscattering, and neutron spin echo) to the characterization and …

Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to investigate the dynamic properties of
melts of nonconcatenated ring polymers and compared to melts of linear polymers. The …

The topological effect of noncrossability of long flexible macromolecules is effectively
described by a slip-spring model, which represents entanglements by local, pairwise …

Diffusion of long ring polymers in a melt is much slower than the reorganization of their
internal structures. While direct evidence for entanglements has not been observed in the …

It has been assumed until very recently that all long-range correlations are screened in three-
dimensional melts of linear homopolymers on distances beyond the correlation length ξ …

The behavior of polymer melts under cylindrical confinement was investigated using
molecular dynamics simulations. A range of polymer chains, from unentangled to highly …

The behavior of polymer melts under planar confinement was investigated using molecular
dynamics simulations. Polymers with a range of lengths, from unentangled to highly …

In the present work, by means of computer simulation, we studied the adsorption and
diffusion of polyelectrolyte macromolecules on oppositely charged surfaces. We considered …

The confinement of poly (ethylene oxide) in graphite oxide is studied using a combination of
diffraction, calorimetric, and spectroscopic methods. Polymer intercalation into …

In this work, high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering (INS) has been used to provide
novel insights into the properties of confined poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) chains. Two limits …
