Crystallization during Polymerization: A Route to Low-Entangled Solid-State Processable Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight trans -1,4-Polybutadiene

Abstract Trans-1,4-polybutadiene (TPBD) is a material of commercial interest whose properties strongly depend on its trans isomer content. The polymer exhibits distinctive features, including a highly linear backbone without pendant groups, excellent dynamic performance, low roll...

The Importanceof First-Principles in the Era of ArtificialIntelligence: A Perspective on Hybrid Modeling and Industrial CaseStudies

Abstract In this work, we will give a perspective on the importance of first-principles in the era of AI and ML, as well as showcase real case studies with industrial collaborators that make the value of a hybrid approach apparent. The first case study shows multiple examples of...

Miscibility in Polyethylene Blends Influenced by Weight Fractions and Short‐Chain Branching: A Molecular Dynamics Study

ABSTRACT Polyethylene (PE), a versatile polymer, exhibits varying degrees of miscibility depending on molecular weight distribution, relative component concentrations (split ratio), and short‐chain branching (SCB) content. This study investigates the thermodynamic factors governi...
