Journal Article

A series of hydrogenous and deuterated four-arm polystyrene stars with low polydispersity have been synthesized by anionic polymerization. Self-diffusion data have been obtained using helium-3 nuclear reaction analysis, and rheology has been employed...

HyperMacs: Highly branched polymers prepared by the polycondensation of AB₂ macromonomers, synthesis and characterization (2005)
Journal Article

We describe here a new strategy for the synthesis of polymers with highly branched architectures. The strategy involves the synthesis by anionic polymerization of well-defined AB(2) polystyrene (condensation) macromonomers with molecular weights from...

Solvent accelerated polymer diffusion in thin films (2005)
Journal Article
Thompson, R., McDonald, M., Lenthall, J., & Hutchings, L. (2005). Solvent accelerated polymer diffusion in thin films. Macromolecules, 38(10), 4339-4344. https://doi.org/10.1021/ma050317p

We have investigated the absorption of cyclohexane vapor into polystyrene films and the resulting polymer interdiffusion that is enabled by this process. The swelling of films due to solvent absorption was relatively insensitive to the film thickness... Read More about Solvent accelerated polymer diffusion in thin films.

Constriction flows of monodisperse linear entangled polymers: Multiscale modeling and flow visualization. (2005)
Journal Article
Collis, M., Lele, A., Mackley, M., Graham, R., Groves, D., Likhtman, A., …Young, R. (2005). Constriction flows of monodisperse linear entangled polymers: Multiscale modeling and flow visualization. Journal of Rheology, 49(2), 501-522. https://doi.org/10.1122/1.1849180

We explore both the theology and complex flow behavior of monodisperse polymer melts. Adequate quantities of monodisperse polymer were synthesized in order that both the materials rheology and microprocessing behavior could be established. In paralle...
