This review presents the precise syntheses of a variety of new chain-end-and in-chain-multi-
functionalized polymers, regular and asymmetric star-branched polymers, star-linear block …

The scope of this Perspective is to highlight innovative contributions in the synthesis of well-
defined complex macromolecular architectures and to emphasize the importance of these …

To optimize automation for polymer processing, attempts have been made to simulate the
flow of entangled polymers. In industry, fluid dynamics simulations with phenomenological …

The dynamics of entangled flexible polymers is dominated by physics general to many
chemical systems. It is an appealing interdisciplinary field where experimental and …

Numerous papers have recently appeared in the literature presenting quantitative
comparisons of experimental linear viscoelastic data to the most recent versions of “tube” …

We present a general algorithm for predicting the linear rheology of branched polymers.
While the method draws heavily on existing theoretical understanding of the relaxation …

We present a detailed, systematic study of the linear rheological response of model comb
homopolymers consisting of linear backbone chains on which branches of the same …

Shear rheological data for a wide range of nearly monodisperse linear polyisoprene melts
are reported herein using the results of linear and nonlinear measurements. The number of …

A Pom-Pom polymer with qa side chains of molecular weight M w, a at both ends of a
backbone chain of molecular weight M w, b is the simplest branched polymer topology. Ten …

Extensive molecular simulations are applied to characterize the equilibrium dynamics,
entanglement topology, and nonlinear extensional rheology of symmetric ring-linear …
