Effects of chain length and polydispersity on shear banding in simple shear flow of polymeric melts

Transient and steady-state shear banding are demonstrated for polydisperse polymer melts as functions of applied shear rate.

Tuning the selective permeability of polydisperse polymer networks

We study the permeability and selectivity (‘permselectivity’) of model membranes made of polydisperse polymer networks for molecular penetrant transport, using coarse-grained, implicit-solvent computer simulations.

Many-body depletion forces of colloids in a polydisperse polymer dispersant in the long-chain limit

We study a system of spherical non-adsorbing particles immersed in a polydisperse polymer fluid.
