Chain entanglement, either cohesional or topological, distinguishes polymers from other
engineering materials. It impedes the movement of molecular segments and influences the …

This article reviews viscosity modifiers, additives that increase the viscosity of lubricating
oils. Viscosity modifiers are high molecular weight polymers whose functionality is derived …

This paper describes a comparison of two characterization techniques for determining the
mechanical properties of thin-film organic semiconductors for applications in soft electronics …

To simultaneously obtain outstanding stretchability, strength, and charge mobility of
conjugated polymers (CPs) has remained a challenge for the field of stretchable electronics …

The deformation behavior of amorphous polymers in the post-yield region is viscoelastic-
viscoplastic (VE-VP) as it exhibits both viscoelastic and viscoplastic characteristics …

Motivated by recent achievements in the synthesis of interlocking polymers, the structural
features of poly [n] catenanes, polymers composed entirely of interlocking rings (or …

We review recent neutron scattering work and related results from simulation and
complementary techniques focusing on the microscopic dynamics of polymers under …

Promoting efficiency, deformability, and life expectancy of stretchable organic solar cells
(OSCs) have always been key concerns that researchers are committed to solving …

Understanding how entanglements affect the behavior of polymeric complex fluids is an
open challenge in many fields. To elucidate the nature and consequence of entanglements …

Tough hydrogels with unconventional polymer network architectures often show superior
mechanical properties because of the microstructures at the polymer chain and network …
