Temporal Coarse-Graining in a Slip Link Model for Polydisperse Polymer Melts

For ecoSLM—an ultra coarse-grained slip link model—the ability to use a time-step that increases with chain molecular weight is an important source of efficiency in modeling the linear rheology of monodisperse chains. This feature is labeled “temporal coarse-graining” in this paper. It is compromise...
