We critically evaluate and compare all major published methods for the experimental
determination of the plateau modulus for monodisperse as well as polydisperse polymers …

We review recent results from computer simulation studies of polymer glasses, from the
chain dynamics around the glass transition temperature Tg to the mechanical behaviour …

The regeneration of diabetic bone defects remains challenging as the innate healing
process is impaired by glucose fluctuation, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and …

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 …

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a widely used commercial plastic due to its excellent
mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and water vapor barrier properties. However …

Aliphatic polyester block polymers constitute a highly useful and amazingly versatile class of
self-assembled materials. Analogous to styrenic block polymers in both design and function …

The viscoelastic properties of high molecular weight polymeric liquids are dominated by
topological constraints on a molecular scale. In a manner similar to that of entangled ropes …

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

The Kremer–Grest (KG) polymer model is a standard model for studying generic polymer
properties in molecular dynamics simulations. It owes its popularity to its simplicity and …

We present a new quantitative development of the reptation picture of de Gennes− Doi−
Edwards. It is well-known that the original reptation theory is unable to fit linear relaxation …
