Different Approaches to Understanding the Effect of Additives on Polymer Relaxation
Abstract: We use molecular simulations to examine the effects of small additive particles on dynamics in coarse-grained polymer systems. We model additives and monomers as spheres, and we use additives of diameters ranging from 60% of the monomer diameter to 200% of the monomer diameter. The effects of larger nanoparticles on polymer dynamics have been … Read more
