Atomistic Simulation of Flow-Induced Microphase Separation and Crystallization of an Entangled Polyethylene Melt Undergoing Uniaxial Elongational Flow and the Role of Kuhn Segment Extension

Atomistic Simulation of Flow-Induced Microphase Separation and Crystallization of an Entangled Polyethylene Melt Undergoing Uniaxial Elongational Flow and the Role of Kuhn Segment Extension

Atomistic simulations of the linear, entangled polyethylene C<sub>1000</sub>H<sub>2002</sub> melt undergoing steady-state and startup conditions of uniaxial elongational flow (UEF) over a wide range of flow strength were performed using a united-atom model for the atomic inte...
