Modelling a single polymer entanglement

The slip-spring model introduced by Likhtman (Macromolecules 38, 6128-6139 (2005)) simulates a single chain entangled within a polymer melt. Single-chain models such as the slip-spring model allow the rheology of polymers to be studied without requiring the use of expensive multiple-chain molecular...
