Relative contributions of chain density and topology to the elasticity of two-dimensional polymer networks

Abstract:

Understanding the relationships between the structure of polymer networks and their mechanical properties is important for the design of advanced soft materials with optimal properties. However, classical rubber elasticity theories often fall short in their description of the network structure, while simulation techniques at molecular scale remain impractical at that length scale. Here we develop a computational approach based on random discrete networks, in which the polymer network is repre...
