The transient elongational viscosity ηe(t) of the polymer melt is known to exhibit strain hardening, which depends on the strain rate ε˙. This phenomenon was elucidated by the difference of chain stretching in the entanglement network between extension and shear. However, to date, the microscopic evolution of polymer melt has not been fully statistically analyzed.

Hypothesis: Thermal activation plays an essential role in contact line dynamics on nanorough surfaces. However, the relation between the aforementioned concept and the sliding motion of nanodroplets remains unclear. As a result, thermally assisted motion of nanodroplets on nanorough surfaces is investigated in this work.

The size-dependent behavior of nanofilms and nanodroplets of homologous polymer blends was explored by many-body dissipative particle dynamics. Although a homologous blend can be regarded as a completely miscible and athermal system, enrichment of the surface in short polymers always takes place. First, liquid-gas and solid-liquid interfacial tensions of polymer melts were acquired.
