From Single-Chain Dynamics to Structure Formation: Dynamic Self-Consistent Field Theory and Molecular Dynamics of (Co)polymer Melts across Entanglement Regimes
Dynamic self-consistent field theory (DSCFT) provides an efficient continuum framework for studying structure formation in inhomogeneous polymer systems, but its predictive accuracy depends on the choice of the nonlocal mobilities. Here, we construct mobility functions for moderately and strongly entangled homopolymer...
