Understanding the Role of Cohesive Interaction in Mechanical Behavior of a Glassy Polymer

Understanding the mechanical behavior of glassy polymers at a fundamental molecular level is of critical importance in engineering and technological applications. Among various molecular parameters, cohesive interactions between polymer chains are found to play a key role in influencing the thermomechanical response of glass-forming polymers. Here, we employ atomistically informed coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG-MD) simulations to study...
