Structure and Dynamics of Star Polymer Films from Coarse-Grained Molecular Simulations

October 5, 2021
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Wengang Zhang, Francis W. Starr, Alexandros Chremos
We quantify the structure and dynamics in molecular simulations of star polymer films of varying arm mass Ma and number of star arms f on a supporting solid substrate with an attractive interaction and compare to the corresponding properties of thin films

The Interfacial Zone in Thin Polymer Films and Around Nanoparticles in Polymer Nanocomposites

September 26, 2019
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Wengang Zhang, Hamed Emamy, Fernando Vargas-Lara, Beatriz Betancourt, Francis W. Starr
We perform coarse-grained simulations of model unentangled polymer materials to quantify the range over which interfaces alter the structure and dynamics in the vicinity of the interface. We study both model polymer-nanoparticle (NP) composites with
