Free Surface Relaxations of Star-Shaped Polymer Films

November 28, 2017
Author(s)
Alexandros Chremos, Bradley R. Frieberg, Emmanouil Glynos, Kyle Johnson, Hengxi Yang, Suresh Narayanan, Peter F. Green, Georgios Sakellariou
X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) studies show that the viscosities of thin film linear chain polymers at temperatures sufficiently high above the bulk glass transition temperature Tg bulk are equal to the bulk zero shear viscosities. The free

Influence of polymer architecture on diffusion in polymers melts

August 2, 2017
Author(s)
Alexandros Chremos, Cheol Jeong, Jack F. Douglas
Recent simulations have indicated that the thermodynamic properties and the glassy dynamics of polymer melts are strongly influenced by average molecular shape, as quantified by the radius of gyration tensor of the polymer molecules, and that average

Self-Assembly of Polymer-Grafted Nanoparticles in Solvent-free Conditions

October 31, 2016
Author(s)
Alexandros Chremos, Jack F. Douglas
The grafting of polymer chains onto the surface of spherical nanoparticles leads to a hybrid type of fluid that exhibits properties of both particle suspensions and melts of star polymers – these properties being controlled by the relative dimensions of

Computer-Aided Molecular Design and Selection of CO2 Capture Solvents Based on Thermodynamics, Reactivity and Sustainability

August 10, 2016
Author(s)
Alexandros Chremos, Athanasios Papadopoulos, Sara Badr, Esther Forte, Theodoros Zarogiannis, Panos Seferlis, Stavros Papadokonstantakis, Amparo Galindo, George Jackson, Claire Adjiman
The identification of improved carbon dioxide (CO2) capture solvents remains a challenge due to the vast number of potentially-suitable molecules. We propose an optimization-based computer- aided molecular design (CAMD) method to identify and select, from

When does a branched polymer becomes a particle?

September 17, 2015
Author(s)
Alexandros Chremos, Jack F. Douglas
Melts with topologically distinct molecular structures are investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. We determine the mean polymer size and shape, and glass transition temperature for each molecular topology. Both in terms of structure and dynamics
