The correlations between molecular structure and mechanical properties of linear low ­density polyethylenes are introduced. The program, procedures and conditions for the molecular dynamics simulations of singlesite and Ziegler ­Natta linear low ­density polyethylenes are presented. Resulting structures of the two polymers formed after the low ­temperature equilibrations are illustrated. Findings with regards to system order, stem length, branch distribution and concentration of tie ­chains are discussed. The results are found to be consistent with experimental findings

We propose a model of a nanostructure which can transform an input rotation into an output oscillation. In the model, the rotor has two identical internally hydrogenated deformable parts. The mechanism is that the rotation-induced centrifugal force and van der Waals force drive the recoverable deformation of the hydrogenated deformable parts, which gives rise to the axial translation of the free end of the rotor. Once the two hydrogenated deformable parts deform periodically, the free end of the rotor oscillates periodically in the axial direction. Molecular dynamics simulations are conducted to reveal the dynamic response of the system at low temperature. Four main types of deformation and the first three orders of vibration responses of the hydrogenated deformable parts are analyzed. Synchronous breathing vibration of the two hydrogenated deformable parts produces ideal oscillation with large amplitude. Asynchronous axial vibration of the hydrogenated deformable parts reduces the oscillation amplitude or produces beat vibration. The way to control the amplitude of the axial oscillation/vibration is given.
