Abstract
The Shinoda-DeVane-Klein (SDK) model is herein demonstrated to be a viable coarse-grain model for performing molecular simulations of polyethylene (PE), affording new opportunities to advance molecular-level, scientific understanding of PE materials and processes. Both structural and dynamical properties of entangled PE melts are captured by the SDK model, which also recovers important aspects of PE crystallization phenomenology. Importantly, the SDK model can be used to represent a variety of materials beyond PE and has a simple functional form, making it unique among coarse-grain PE models. This study expands the suite of tools for studying PE in silico and paves the way for future work probing PE and PE-based composites at the molecular level.

Abstract
Extensive molecular dynamics simulations of the macromolecular conformation and the melt dynamics for model polymers of different molecular weights have been carried out. The selected models are hydrogenated polybutadienes with a 2% content of ethyl branches and linear polyethylene. It will be shown that the density and chain stiffness are clearly affected by both the molecular weight and the presence of ethyl branches. Furthermore, the results obtained from the simulations on the molecular size and, more remarkably, chain dynamics, perfectly match the neutron scattering experiments performed by Zamponi et al. in hydrogenated polybutadienes. We observe a clear chain contraction and a slow dynamics for the hydrogenated polybutadiene with respect to the linear chain of the same molecular length. Using the Likhtman-McLeish definitions, the obtained values of the entanglement relaxation time (τe) and the tube diameter (a) are found to be in agreement with the available experimental data (by rheology and neutron spin echo) as well as with those obtained by the simulations. Finally, a very good agreement of diffusion coefficients as a function of the molecular weight between simulations and experiments is observed. Therefore, there exists a clear difference between the results obtained for branched and linear polyethylene, accounting for a definitive effect of the short chain branching on the conformational properties and the melt dynamics of polyolefins.

Abstract
We make a critical examination of how the entanglement molecular mass Me is determined from various measurable quantities. We are guided by reptation theory, where it is assumed that characteristic relaxations abruptly change and become equal to those of a chain moving in a Gaussian tube, as soon as the corresponding length scales surpass the tube diameter d or similarly as soon as the corresponding mass surpasses a critical value. Taking this critical mass as a definition of the "reptational" entanglement mass, we observe that all methods based on time-resolved quantities, such as the single-chain dynamic structure factor S(q,t) and the zero-shear relaxation modulus G(t), give the same result. We observe that such a value differs, beyond error bars, from that obtained from the plateau modulus, which is a time-integrated quantity. We have investigated an alternative definition of entanglement mass in terms of time-integrated quantities and observe that the value of this specific entanglement mass is consistent with that obtained from the time-resolved observables. We comment on possible reasons for the plateau modulus discrepancy.
