Colloidal Aggregation in the Presence of Gravity
A computational model for colloidal aggregation is presented that considers the Brownian motion, the sedimentation and the deposition experienced by the colloidal particles and clusters. Among the results, for intermediate strengths of the downward gravitational [...]
Illustrative Modeling Studies on Elastomers and Rubberlike Elasticity
Examples are given to illustrate the use of computer modeling to elucidate the structures of elastomeric polymer networks, and to provide guidance on controlling these structures to maximize mechanical properties. The first example involves simulations [...]
Modeling and Mass-Distance Scaling of a Nanometer Starburst Polymer
We report numerical scaling of cumulative mass with intramolecular distance of a model of one of the four segments of the hyperbranched poly(propylene!imine)-dendr-DAB(CN)64 molecule. Assuming prevalent repulsive link!link forces gives a power law relation with [...]
Large-scale Simulations of Adhesion in Dense Polymer Melts
We study adhesion between a polymer melt and substrate due to tethered chains on the substrate surface. We have performed extensive molecular dynamics simulations to study the effect of tethered chain density (S), tethered chain [...]
