Slip-Spring and Kink Dynamics Models for Fast Extensional Flow of Entangled Polymeric Fluids

Slip-Spring and Kink Dynamics Models for Fast Extensional Flow of Entangled Polymeric Fluids

We combine a slip-spring model with an ‘entangled kink dynamics’ (EKD) model for strong uniaxial extensional flows (with Rouse Weissenberg number W i R ≫ 1 ) of long ( M w > 1   Mkg / mol for polystyrene) entangled polymers in solutions and melts...
