Non-equilibrium steady states of entangled polymer mixtures under shear flow

By solving the full equations of an extended two-fluid model in two dimensions, we give the first numerical study revealing non-equilibrium steady states in sheared entangled polymer mixtures. This research provides answers for some fundamental questions in sheared binary mixtures of entangled polym...
