Role of viscoelasticity in non-equilibrium steady states of sheared entangled polymer mixtures

Through two-dimensional numerical simulations, we present the detailed dynamic evolution of microstructure in sheared polymer mixtures and quantitatively analyze the role of viscoelasticity in non-equilibrium steady states. The result reveals that the viscoelastic effects play an essential role in f...
