A new paper by former MMD lab postdoc Rob Wagner and Prof Meredith Silberstein is now out in JMPS. This paper, “A foundational framework for the mesoscale modeling of dynamic elastomers and gels,” presents a mesoscale modeling approach for capturing the large deformation mechanics of elastomer and gel networks with dynamic bonds. This method greatly increases accessible time and length scales within the range of applicable polymers. The paper systematically compares the method to matched coarse-grained molecular dynamic simulations and existing theoretical frameworks.
