Abstract Neutron spin echo spectroscopy of entangled polymer melts [M. Zamponi, et al. J. Phys. Chem. B 2008, 112, 16220], and of tracer diffusion of short polymer chains in highly entangled polymer melt [M. Zamponi et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 2021, 126, 187801.] and [M. Kruteva et al. Macromolecules 2021, 54, 11384] found the center-of-mass mean-square...

Double quench phase separation is prevalent in industrial polymeric membrane formation processes. The interplay of heat and mass transfer during various phase separation stages is crucial in nonisothermal double-quench processes. The phase separated pattern with initial temperature of T*  = 1.05, initial quench temperature of T*  = 1.0, and second...

Abstract Swelling experiments were conducted on non-filler natural rubber (NR) using four solvents (toluene, cyclohexane, tetrahydrofuran (THF), and methylethylketone (MEK)) over temperatures from 10 to 70 °C. Toluene, cyclohexane, and THF, classified as effective solvents, showed swelling ratios between 3 and 7, influenced by the crosslink density...

This study investigates non-isothermal blade coating of non-Newtonian nanofluid with magnetic, slip coefficient, thermophoresis, and Brownian effects. The effects of these parameters on the coating thickness, blade load, velocity, temperature, concentration, and pressure profiles are analyzed, revealing trends such as increased velocity near the substrate...

Abstract We employ statistical learning to present a principled framework for the establishment of quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPR). We focus on property predictions of industrial polymers formed by multiple reagents and at varying molecular weights. We develop a theoretical description of QSPR as well as a rigorous mathematical...

Dynamic properties of cyclic polymers including non-Gaussianity, heterogeneity, and subdiffusive diffusion are at odds with the predictions from theories of motions restricted by fixed obstacles, but are hallmarks of cooperative dynamics found in entangled linear polymers, and in many other nonpolymeric materials. The Coupling Model for cooperative...
