For more than half a century, materials scientists have struggled with how to simulate the complexity of polymer materials. An individual chain can comprise tens of thousands of atoms, a melt or ...
A coarse-grained polymer model based on the modified finite-extensible nonlinear elastic (FENE) bond potential and the Lennard–Jones interaction—originally inspired by the widely used Kremer–Grest ...
We performed experiments to elucidate the conformations of a single centimeter-sized bead chain through the mechanical vertical agitation under different crowding levels mediated by granular spheres.
