1 Smith, Grant D.; Borodin, OlegMolecular-dynamics simulation study of dielectric relaxation in a 1,4-polybutadiene meltWe have carried out atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of a melt of 1,4-poly(butadiene) from temperatures well above the experimentally observed merging of the primary a process and secondary b process down to temperatures approaching the experimentally observed bifurcation temperature. The re...Polymer melts; 1,4-polybutadiene; Chain dynamics; Conformational dynamics2002
2 Smith, Grant D.On the non-Gaussianity of chain motion in unentangled polymer meltsWe have investigated chain dynamics of an unentangled polybutadiene melt via molecular dynamics simulations and neutron spin echo experiments. Good short-time statistics allows for the first experimental confirmation of subdiffusive motion of polymer chains for times less than the Rouse time (T R) c...Polymer melts; Chain dynamics; 1,4-polybutadiene melts; Neutron spin echo2001
3 Smith, Grant D.Prediction of the linear viscoelastic shear modulus of an entangled polybutadiene melt from simulation and theoryWhile accurate quantum chemistry based potentials,1 improved simulation algorithms, and faster computers have made accurate calculation of chain dynamics in unentangled polymer melts from molecular dynamics simulations possible,2-5 direct calculation of the viscoelastic properties of entangled polym...Polybutadiene melt; Viscoelastic shear; Chain dynamics; Entangled polymers2000
