The physical properties of polymers depend on a range of both structural and chemical
parameters, and in particular, on molecular topology. Apparently simple changes such as …

Atomistic configurations of model unentangled ring polyethylene (PE) melts ranging in chain
length from C24 up to C400 have been subjected to detailed molecular dynamics (MD) …

The dynamical characteristics of ring and linear polyethylene (PE) molecules in the melt
have been studied by employing atomistic molecular dynamics simulations for linear PEs …

Experimental self-diffusivities of gases, vapors, and liquids obtained by means of tracer
techniques and nuclear magnetic resonance are reviewed. The considered substances …

Macroscopic properties of polymers arise from microscopic entanglement of polymer chains.
Entangled polymer dynamics have been described theoretically by time-and space …

When long polymers such as DNA are in a highly concentrated state they may become
entangled, leading to restricted self-diffusion. Here, we investigate the effect of molecular …

Extensive molecular-dynamics simulations have been performed to study the effect of chain
conformational rigidity, controlled by bending and torsion potentials, on self-diffusion in …

The conformational and dynamical properties of macromolecular melts are strongly affected
by topological constraints. The extent to which the constraints become dominant depends on …

Self-diffusion coefficients (D) of DNA molecules of varying length and concentration were
measured by tracking the Brownian motion of individual fluorescently labeled tracer …

The specific heat capacity was measured with step-scan differential scanning calorimetry for
linear alkanes from pentane (C 5 H 12) to nonadecane (C 19 H 40)⁠, for several cyclic …
