Contraction of Entangled Polymers After Large Step Shear Deformations in Slip-Link Simulations

Although the tube framework has achieved remarkable success to describe entangled polymer dynamics, the chain motion assumed in tube theories is still a matter of discussion. Recently, Xu et al. [ACS Macro Lett. 2018, 7, 190⁻195] performed a molecular dynamics simulation for entangled bead...
