Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

Ring polymers have fascinated theorists, simulators, and experimentalists as they are the
simplest polymer without ends, giving rise to important topology related properties. We …

We present a coordinated experimental, simulation, and theoretical study of how polymer
network permanent cross-links impact the segmental relaxation time over a wide range of …

We start with a few concise definitions of the most important concepts discussed in this entry.
Glass transition For molecular liquids, the glass transition denotes a crossover from a …

We theoretically investigate high-pressure effects on the atomic dynamics of metallic
glasses. The theory predicts compression-induced rejuvenation and the resulting strain …

We employ a new force-level statistical mechanical theory to predict spatial gradients of the
structural relaxation time and T g of polymer liquids near microscopically rough and smooth …

We employ the microscopic self-consistent cooperative hop** theory of penetrant
activated dynamics in glass forming viscous liquids and colloidal suspensions to address …

We analyze multiple new issues concerning activated relaxation in glassy hard sphere fluids
and molecular and polymer liquids based on the elastically collective nonlinear Langevin …

We construct a microscopic theory at the level of segment-scale correlated space–time
intermolecular forces for the long-time center-of-mass (CM) diffusion constant and …

We generalize a microscopic statistical mechanical theory of the activated dynamics of dilute
spherical penetrants in glass-forming liquids to study the influence of crosslinking in polymer …
