Abstract: In a recent paper, Mukherji et al. describe the collapse of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) in methanol-water mixtures based on experiments and molecular dynamics simulations. The conclusion of their work is that chain collapse is dominated by… read more here.

Abstract: Based on non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of entangled polymer melts, a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. $\textbf{121}$, 047801 (2018), arXiv:1806.09509] claims that the rising extensional stress is quantitatively consistent with the decreasing entropy of chains… read more here.
