Molecular dynamics simulations of crystal nucleation in entangled polymer melts under start-up shear conditions (2019)
Journal Article

Understanding the flow induced crystallisation (FIC) process is necessary due to its technological relevance to polymer processing. Polymer crystallisation controls the morphology of semi-crystalline polymers and hence the properties of the end produ...

Understanding flow-induced crystallisation in polymers: a perspective on the role of molecular simulations (2019)
Journal Article

Flow induced crystallisation in polymers is an important problem in both fundamental polymer science and industrial polymer processing. The key process of flow-induced nucleation occurs on a very rapid timescale and on a highly localised lengthscale...
