We discuss simulations of a simple model for polymer blends in the framework of the Rouse model. At odds with standard predictions, large dynamic asymmetry between the two components induces strong nonexponentiality of the Rouse modes for the fast component. Despite chains being much shorter than the entanglement length, it also induces dynamic features resembling a crossover to entangledlike c...

The dynamics of ring polymer melts are studied via molecular simulations the Kremer–Grest bead-spring model. Rouse mode analysis is performed in comparison with linear polymers by changing chain length. Rouse-like behavior observed quantifying length dependence relaxation time, whereas a crossover from to reptation polymers. Furthermore, non-Gaussian parameters monomer bead displacement and cen...
