Dynamics of entangled linear polymer melts: A molecular‐dynamics simulation

TL;DR: In this article, an extensive molecular-dynamics simulation for a bead spring model of a melt of linear polymers is presented, where the number of monomers N covers the range from N=5 to N=400.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bending instability of electrically charged liquid jets of polymer solutions in electrospinning

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed and explained the reasons for the instability of a viscous jet of polymer solution at a pendent droplet, showing that the longitudinal stress caused by the external electric field acting on the charge carried by the jet stabilized the straight jet for some distance.
Journal ArticleDOI

The hydrodynamics of swimming microorganisms

TL;DR: The biophysical and mechanical principles of locomotion at the small scales relevant to cell swimming, tens of micrometers and below are reviewed, with emphasis on the simple physical picture and fundamental flow physics phenomena in this regime.

Statistical Mechanics of Nonequilibrium Liquids

TL;DR: In this paper, the microscopic connection is used to model the Green-Kubo relations of steady states and the nonlinear response theory of linear irreversible thermodynamics is used for steady states.

Structural and mechanical properties of biopolymer gels

TL;DR: The structural and mechanical properties of gels formed from biopolymers are discussed in this paper, both in terms of the techniques used to characterise these systems, and in the systems themselves.
