Studying the Dynamics of Entangled Fluid Polymers

Very long linear macromolecules can occur as fluid polymers at temperatures above their point of crystallization. These are commonly referred to as polymer melts and are key ingredients in many modern materials, not least because they demonstrate a broad range of viscoelastic behaviors. In polymer melts, the long macromolecule chains are heavily overlapping and their … Continue reading Studying the Dynamics of Entangled Fluid Polymers
