Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Confined Polymer Melts

We present the results of molecular dynamics simulations of polymer melts confined between two rough walls. Simulations were performed for the coarse-grained bead-spring chains of Lennard-Jones particles. The results show that, the longest relaxation time decreases with increasing the film thickness for the confined polymer melt systems with relative short chains; while for the confined systems with longer chains, the relaxation time decreases...
