Monte–Carlo simulation of crystallization in single‐chain square‐well homopolymers (2020)
Journal Article
Wicks, T. J., Wattis, J. A. D., & Graham, R. S. (2021). Monte–Carlo simulation of crystallization in single‐chain square‐well homopolymers. Polymer Crystallization, 4(1), Article e10146. https://doi.org/10.1002/pcr2.10146

© 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC We present Monte–Carlo (MC) simulations of the crystallization transition of single-chain square-well homopolymers, with a continuous description of monomer positions. For long chains with short-ranged interactions this s... Read More about Monte–Carlo simulation of crystallization in single‐chain square‐well homopolymers.

Residual alignment and its effect on weld strength in material-extrusion 3D-printing of polylactic acid (2020)
Journal Article
Costanzo, A., Spotorno, R., Candal, M. V., Fernández, M. M., Müller, A. J., Graham, R. S., …McIlroy, C. (2020). Residual alignment and its effect on weld strength in material-extrusion 3D-printing of polylactic acid. Additive Manufacturing, 36, Article 101415. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2020.101415

© 2020 Elsevier B.V. Gaining a molecular understanding of material extrusion (MatEx) 3D printing is crucial to predicting and controlling part properties. Here we report the direct observation of distinct birefringence localised to the weld regions b...

PolySTRAND Model of Flow-Induced Nucleation in Polymers (2020)
Journal Article
Read, D. J., McIlroy, C., Das, C., Harlen, O. G., & Graham, R. S. (2020). PolySTRAND Model of Flow-Induced Nucleation in Polymers. Physical Review Letters, 124(14), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.124.147802

We develop a thermodynamic continuum-level model, polySTRAND, for flow-induced nucleation in polymers suitable for use in computational process modeling. The model's molecular origins ensure that it accounts properly for flow and nucleation dynamics... Read More about PolySTRAND Model of Flow-Induced Nucleation in Polymers.
