The recent status of Japan's government-driven project to establish carbon fiber reinforced
thermoplastic composites (CFRTP) technology for automotive applications conducted in the …

Multiscale modelling of soft matter is an emerging field that has made rapid progress in the
past decade. Several methods for systematic coarse-graining of molecular liquids and soft …

This paper describes and provides Z1+, the successor of the Z-and Z1-codes for topological
analyses of mono-and polydisperse entangled linear polymeric systems, in the presence or …

Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) is a near-term platform for photonic quantum computing.
Recent efforts have led to the discovery of GBS algorithms with applications to graph-based …

Primitive path analyses of entanglements are performed over a wide range of chain lengths
for both bead spring and atomistic polyethylene polymer melts. Estimators for the …

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 …

Existing methods to obtain the primitive path network for monodisperse, linear polymers in
the molten state are critically compared. A connection is established between the original …

We present a detailed study of the static and dynamic behaviors of long semiflexible polymer
chains in a melt. Starting from previously obtained fully equilibrated high molecular weight …

A coarse-grained model of atactic polystyrene, in which meso and racemo diads are
represented as single “superatoms,” parametrized using Iterative Boltzmann Inversion, has …

A quantitative understanding and prediction of the dynamics of entangled polymer melts is a
long-standing problem. In this work we present results about the dynamical and rheological …
