Single polymer dynamics offers a powerful approach to study molecular-level interactions
and dynamic microstructure in materials. Direct visualization of single polymer chains has …

Soft colloids comprise a wide class of materials, ranging from linear polymers over polymeric
assemblies, such as star polymers and dendrimers, to vesicles, capsules, and even cells …

The properties of semidilute polymer solutions are investigated at equilibrium and under
shear flow by mesoscale simulations, which combine molecular dynamics simulations and …

The behavior of a single collapsed polymer under shear flow is examined using
hydrodynamic simulations and scaling arguments. Below a threshold shear rate γ˙*, the …

The morphological dynamics, instabilities, and transitions of elastic filaments in viscous
flows underlie a wealth of biophysical processes from flagellar propulsion to intracellular …

When a viscoelastic fluid, such as an aqueous polymer solution, flows through a porous
medium, the fluid undergoes a repetitive expansion and contraction as it passes from one …

A microfluidic four-roll mill device that can cover the entire spectrum of flow types including
purely rotational flow was designed using pseudo-three-dimensional simulations. In …

Precise control and regulation of the cell structure in supercritical CO 2 (scCO 2) foaming is
the key to boost the performance and extend the application of polymer foams. In this work …

Individual molecule dynamics have been shown to influence significantly the bulk
rheological and microstructural properties of short-chain, unentangled, linear polyethylene …

The flow behavior of polymeric liquids can be traced back to the complex conformational
dynamics of polymer molecules in shear flow, which poses a major challenge to theory and …
