Molecular Simulation of Thermoplastic Polyurethanes under Large Tensile Deformation

Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are useful materials for numerous applications due in part to their outstanding resilience and ability to dissipate energy under large mechanical deformation. However, the mechanistic understanding of the origins of these mechanical properties at the molecular leve...
