摘要: By mapping atomistic trajectories accumulated in the course of long molecular dynamics simulations onto tube model for mono- and bidisperse polyethylene cis-1,-4 trans-1,4-polybutadiene melts, we have computed contributions to chain entangled polymers from pure reptation, contour length fluctuation, constraint release. We find that diameter is same matrices with weight (MW) above characteristic value Me formation entanglements, but becomes larger MW below Me, agreement Viovy et al. hypothesis. Additional results segment survival probability function c(s,t) been used propose modifications dual Pattamaprom Leygue model.
