I am happy to share that the last work from my PhD time is out: Universal Time and Length Scales of Polar Active Polymer Melts pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Most interestingly, we have found that the chain dynamics is not controlled by polymer entanglements but only on the strength of the active forces.
To know more about our work, you can check the paper: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
The last work of my PhD is out. Here, we investigate how geometric constraints (slit-confinement) can be exploited for the synthesis of self-assembled topological polymer networks (Olympic networks).

New preprint out arxiv.org/abs/2302.08225
In this work we perform topological analysis of melts of topologically complex rings and we show how to recover the entanglement of the system from its topology.
From the analysis of 1) single-ring (knots), 2) couples of rings (two-chain links), 3) triplets of rings (three-chain links), we show that two-chain links capture almost the full entanglement of the system with three-chain links adding minor corrections.
And now Is out! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Finally out!
New paper! Monte Carlo simulations show that ring polymers are double-folded above the entanglement length, while threadings are localized on smaller scales, reconciling different theories bit.ly/3UyQhAd @MacroJrnls_ACS @univienna @Sissaschool #topology #rings
