Molecular dynamics for linear polymer melts in bulk and confined systems under shear flow

Abstract In this work, we analyzed the individual chain dynamics for linear polymer melts under shear flow for bulk and confined systems using atomistic nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of unentangled (C50H102) and slightly entangled (C178H358) polyethylene melts. While a certain simila...
