Star polymers rupture induced by constant forces [PDF]
, 2014 In this work, we study the breakage process of an unknotted three-arm star-shaped polymer when it is pulled from its free ends by a constant force. The star polymer configuration is described through an array of monomers coupled by anharmonic bonds ...

Beneficial influence of nanocarbon on the aryliminopyridylnickel chloride catalyzed ethylene polymerization [PDF]
, 2013 A series of 1-aryliminoethylpyridine ligands (L1―L3) was synthesized by condensation of 2-acetylpyridine with 1-aminonaphthalene, 2-aminoanthracene or 1-aminopyrene, respectively.

Influence of polymerisation conditions on the properties of polymer/clay nanocomposite hydrogels [PDF]
, 2013 Free-radical polymerisation of acrylamide derivatives in the presence of exfoliated clay platelets has recently emerged as a new technique for the synthesis of strong and tough nanocomposite hydrogels (NCHs) with a unique hybrid organic/inorganic network

Charged solitons in branched conducting polymers
, 2018 We consider dynamics of charged solitons in branched conducting polymers. An effective model based on the sine-Gordon equation on metric graphs is used for computing the charge transport and scattering of charge carriers at the polymer branching points ...

Density fields for branching, stiff networks in rigid confining regions
, 2019 We develop a formalism to describe the equilibrium distributions for segments of confined branched networks consisting of stiff filaments. This is applicable to certain situations of cytoskeleton in cells, such as for example actin filaments with ...

Perspectives on the viscoelasticity and flow behavior of entangled linear and branched polymers
, 2015 We briefly review the recent advances in the rheology of entangled polymers and identify emerging research trends and outstanding challenges, especially with respect to branched polymers. Emphasis is placed on the role of well-characterized model systems,
