We show how three-dimensional structures can be formed in polymer blends from pre-existing structures. “Tape” of one polymer is inserted into a matrix of an alternative polymer to form an array of parallelepipeds. We subject ...

Using computational models, we examine how shearing a binary polymer melt affects the dynamic fracture mechanics of the final solid material. The phase separation of the immiscible blend under an imposed shear is simulated ...

We integrate the lattice Boltzmann model sLBMd and lattice spring model sLSMd to capture the coupling between a compliant bounding surface and the hydrodynamic response of an enclosed fluid. We focus on an elastic, spherical ...

We couple a morphological study of a mixture of diblock copolymers and spherical nanoparticles with a micromechanical simulation to determine how the spatial distribution of the particles affects the mechanical behavior ...
