Abstract
Synthetic esters are used as lubricants for applications at high temperatures, but their development can be a trial and error process. In this context, molecular dynamics simulations could be used as a tool to investigate the properties of new lubricants, in particular viscosity. We employ nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations to predict bulk Newtonian viscosities of a set of mixtures of two esters, di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate (DEHS) and di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) at 293 and 343 K as well as equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) and NEMD at 393 K and compare these to experimental measurements. The simulations predict mixture densities within 5% of the experimental values, and we are able to retrieve between 99% and 75% of the experimental viscosities for all ranges of temperature. Experimental viscosities show a linear trend which we are able to capture using NEMD at low temperature and EMD at high temperature. Our work shows that, using EMD and NEMD simulations, and the workflows we developed, we can obtain reliable estimates of the viscosities of mixtures of industrially relevant ester-based lubricants at different temperatures.

Abstract
Shear-thickening fluids that absorb the impact energy of high-velocity projectiles are of great interest for aerospace and body-armor applications. In such a frame, we investigate transient states of neat and aqueous polyelectrolytes (PE) having low molecular weights and containing poly([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium) as polycations and poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) as polyanions. We compare results with those of bulk water. We employ nonequilibrium molecular dynamics to simulate oscillatory shear, mainly in the linear viscoelastic regime. We find that neat PE exhibits properties of a viscoelastic solid, whereas water and the aqueous mixture of PE conform to viscoelastic liquids with Maxwellian behavior at low angular frequencies. Terminal relaxation times are ∼0.499 and ∼1.385 ps for water and the aqueous mixture of PE, respectively. At high angular frequencies, storage moduli show anomalous behaviors that correspond to transitions between shear thinning and shear thickening in complex shear viscosities. The change in potential energy with the increase of the angular frequency is mainly driven by intramolecular interactions for neat PE, whereas short-range Coulomb interactions are the major contributions for water and the aqueous mixture of PE. Upon observation of the molecular configurations, only the local polyionic structure in the aqueous mixture of PE shows improvement when increasing the angular frequency, whereas the rest remains barely affected. Thus, the water structure in the aqueous mixture of PE allows the storage of energy elastically through the hydrogen-bond network at large angular frequencies, whereas the mechanical contribution of polyions weakens and fully vanishes at the beginning of shear thinning, explaining the superimposed data with data of bulk water. Our method and findings set the path for future molecular simulations in the nonlinear viscoelastic regime with more complex underlying molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
Nanofiller-based epoxy inks have found extensive use in fabricating 3D printed nanocomposites for applications in aerospace, automobile, and marine systems. In this paper, we employ an all-atom molecular dynamic (MD) simulation to atomistically explore the mechanisms dictating the shear-thinning behavior of the graphene flake-infused (GFI) epoxy inks. We compare our findings with those for pure epoxy inks: non-equilibrium MD (NEMD) simulations reveal that both the GFI epoxy ink and pure epoxy ink demonstrate shear thinning behavior, i.e., their viscosities decrease with an increase in the shear rate. However, interestingly, the viscosity of the GFI epoxy ink is larger than that of pure epoxy for smaller shear rates, while for higher shear rates, the viscosities of these two materials are similar. This indicates a much more favorable viscosity profile for the GFI epoxy inks in the context of 3D printing. From the context of exploring the nanoscale mechanism, we identify the tendency of the bisphenol F molecules (the key constituent of the epoxy inks) and the graphene flakes (for the case of GFI epoxy inks) to align along the shear planes (in the presence of a shear flow) allowing the dissipation of viscous force among them ensuring shear-thinning behavior for both pure epoxy and GFI epoxy inks. In this context, we also identify that the bisphenol F chains prefer to localize along a given shear plane to reduce the effect of tension forces: such an alignment ensures that the radius of gyration for the bisphenol F molecules (for both pure epoxy and GFI epoxy inks) is larger for the case of finite shear and has a non-monotonic variation with the shear rate. Finally, the equilibrium MD (EMD) simulations establish that the presence of the graphene flakes significantly slows down the rotational dynamics of the bisphenol F molecules that are adsorbed to these graphene flakes and, as a result, causes the zero-shear viscosity of the GFI epoxy to be three orders of magnitude larger than that of the pure epoxy. This difference provides a qualitative justification of the viscosity of the GFI epoxy being larger than that of pure epoxy at smaller shear rate values.

Abstract
Materials enabling impact-energy absorption of high-velocity projectiles are of great interest for applications like aerospace. In such a frame, shear thickening fluids were found very useful. Here, we investigated nanorheological properties of neat and aqueous polyelectrolytes of low molecular weights containing poly([2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] trimethyl ammonium) as polycations and poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) as polyanions. Results were compared with pure water. We employed nonequilibrium molecular dynamics with the SLLOD algorithm to compute the viscosity at various shear rates. Systems containing polyelectrolytes exhibit shear thickening. The analysis of molecular configurations revealed a strong disruption of the ionic structure and more clusters with smaller sizes on increasing the shear rate. Potential energies showed that shear thickening originates from an increase in intramolecular and van der Waals interactions resulting from the increasing difficultly of polyelectrolyte-based systems to relax at high shear rates. Our method and findings underscore the importance of accounting for the molecular scale in the design of materials absorbing the impact energy efficiently.

Abstract
We conducted large scale molecular dynamics simulations to understand the effects of size, shape and volume fraction of additive nanoparticles on the crystallization of nanocomposite polymers. We used spherical and cubic gold nanoparticles of various sizes ranging from 2 to 8 nm to create hexacontane (C60H122)-gold nanocomposites at various volume fractions of 0.84-19.27%. We show that, regardless of the shape, decreasing the size of particles at the same volume fraction results in decreased final crystallinity. Similarly, for the same particle size, increasing the volume fraction causes a decrease in the crystal growth rate and final crystallinity. We demonstrate that this is a confinement induced phenomenon, and the free interparticle space captures the combined effects of particle size and volume fraction. If this free space is smaller than the extended length of the molecule or the characteristic size of the crystal lamella thickness of the polymer, significant slow-down in crystallinity will emerge. In this confinement limit, the interparticle free space controls the crystal growth rate and final crystallinity. We have developed the equations that predict the critical volume fraction (φ cr) for a given size or critical size (D cr) for a given volume fraction. For φ > φ cr or D < D cr, one would expect confinement induced retardation of crystallization. We also show that cubic particles result in a higher growth rate and crystallinity in comparison to spherical particles, purely due to their shape. Furthermore, cubic particles due to flat surfaces lead to distinct two-tier crystallisation kinetics manifested by enhanced crystallization at the early stage of crystallization, followed by slow crystallization due to confinement effects. This two-tier crystallization is more distinct at higher volume fractions. For spherical particles, however, this two-tier crystallization is almost absent and molecular crystallization near the particle is frustrated by the curved shape of the nanoparticle.

Abstract
The shear flow of ordinary liquids is for the first time observed at the submillimeter scale by thermal imaging. We report on microinfrared experiments, showing that liquids as important as water flowing on wetting surfaces produce cooling, while the academic view would foresee heating production. This apparent counterintuitive cooling effect shows that the increase of the internal energy due to the flow can result in different shapes, including a cooling process, before reaching the conventional heating regime at higher shear rates. This unknown property might be interpreted as a transient stretching state of the liquid. Shearing liquids might be a promising alternative compared to conventional endothermic processes (gas expansion or vaporization of a liquid, the Peltier effect, and so forth).

Abstract
Molecular dynamic simulation is used to investigate the viscoelastic properties of n-hexadecane under oscillatory shear flow. Rheometric simulations of an ultra-thin molecular film are studied and compared with the results of a bulk simulation. Strain amplitude sweep tests at a fixed frequency show that strain thinning (the dynamic modulus monotonically decreases with increasing strain amplitude) exists at extreme strain for both bulk and thin film systems. Fourier analysis is performed to characterize the nonlinear behavior of the viscoelasticity. No even harmonic was found in our study even though wall slip occurs. Furthermore, we show that a Fourier series with odd harmonics can be used to perfectly describe the simulation results by plotting Lissajous loops. Shear wave propagation appears when the frequency is larger than a certain value. Moreover, the molecular orientation and molecular potential energies, including those for bonding potential, intra- and intermolecular van der Waals interactions are plotted against the strain amplitude to examine the changes in the microscopic structures with respect to the macroscopic thermodynamic states.

Abstract
Extensive computer experiments have been conducted in order to shed light on the macroscopic shear flow behavior of liquid n-hexadecane fluid under isobaric-isothermal conditions through the nonequilibrium molecular dynamic methodology. With respect to shear rates, the accompanying variations in structural properties of the fluid span the microscopic range of understanding from the intrinsic to extrinsic characteristics. As drawn from the average value of bond length and bond angle, the distribution of dihedral angle, and the radius distribution function of intramolecular and intermolecular van der Waals distances, these intrinsic structures change with hardness, except in the situation of extreme shear rates. The shear-induced variation of thermodynamic state curve along with the shear rate studied is shown to consist of both the quasiequilibrium state plateau and the nonequilibrium-thermodynamic state slope. Significantly, the occurrence of nonequilibrium-thermodynamic state behavior is attributed to variations in molecular potential energies, which include bond stretching, bond bending, bond torsion, and intra- and intermolecular van der Waals interactions. To unfold the physical representation of extrinsic structural deformation, under the aggressive influence of a shear flow field, the molecular dimension and appearance can be directly described via the squared radius of gyration and the sphericity angle, R(g)(2) and ϕ, respectively. In addition, a specific orientational order S(x) defines the alignment of the molecules with the flow direction of the x-axis. As a result, at low shear rates, the overall molecules are slightly stretched and shaped in a manner that is increasingly ellipsoidal. Simultaneously, there is an obvious enhancement in the order. In contrast to high shear rates, the molecules spontaneously shrink themselves with a decreased value of R(g)(2), while their shape and order barely vary with an infinite value of ϕ and S(x). It is important to note that under different temperatures and pressures, these three parameters are integrated within a molecular description in response to thermodynamic state variable of density and rheological material function of shear viscosity.

Abstract
A small amplitude oscillatory shear flows with the classic characteristic of a phase shift when using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations for n-hexadecane fluids. In a suitable range of strain amplitude, the fluid possesses significant linear viscoelastic behavior. Non-linear viscoelastic behavior of strain thinning, which means the dynamic modulus monotonously decreased with increasing strain amplitudes, was found at extreme strain amplitudes. Under isobaric conditions, different temperatures strongly affected the range of linear viscoelasticity and the slope of strain thinning. The fluid's phase states, containing solid-, liquid-, and gel-like states, can be distinguished through a criterion of the viscoelastic spectrum. As a result, a particular condition for the viscoelastic behavior of n-hexadecane molecules approaching that of the Rouse chain was obtained. Besides, more importantly, evidence of thermorheologically simple materials was presented in which the relaxation modulus obeys the time-temperature superposition principle. Therefore, using shift factors from the time-temperature superposition principle, the estimated Arrhenius flow activation energy was in good agreement with related experimental values. Furthermore, one relaxation modulus master curve well exhibited both transition and terminal zones. Especially regarding non-equilibrium thermodynamic states, variations in the density, with respect to frequencies, were revealed.

Abstract
Shear dilatancy, a significant nonlinear behavior of nonequilibrium thermodynamics states, has been observed in nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations for liquid n-hexadecane fluid under extreme shear conditions. The existence of shear dilatancy is relevant to the relationship between the imposed shear rate gamma and the critical shear rate gamma(c). Consequently, as gamma<gamma(c), the intermolecular equilibrium distance of the fluid remains unchanged, while the nonequilibrium state of the fluid approaches equilibrium. In contrast to gamma>gamma(c), the intermolecular distance is lengthened substantially by strong shear deformation breaking the equilibrium thermodynamic state so that shear dilatancy takes place. Notably, a characteristic shear rate gamma(m), which depends on the root mean square molecular velocity and the average free molecular distance, is found in nonequilibrium thermodynamics state curves. Studies of the variations in the intermolecular radial distribution function (RDF) with respect to the shear rate provide a direct measure of the variation in the degree of intermolecular separation. Additionally, the variations of the RDF curve in the microscopic regime are consistent with those of the nonequilibrium thermodynamic state in the macroscopic world. By inspecting the overall shape of the RDF curve, it can be readily corroborated that the fluid of interest exists in the liquid state. More importantly, both primary characteristic values, the equilibrium thermodynamic state variable and a particular shear rate of gamma(p), are determined cautiously, with gamma(p) depending on the gamma(m) value and the square root of pressure. Thereby, the nonequilibrium thermodynamic state curves can be normalized as temperature-, pressure-, and density-invariant master curves, formulated by applying the Cross constitutive equation. Clearly, gamma(c) occurs at which a reduced shear rate gamma/gamma(p) approaches 0.1. Furthermore, the trends in the rates of shear dilatancy in both the constant-pressure and constant-volume NEMD systems under isothermal conditions conform to the cyclic rule of pressure, as a function of density and shear rate.

Abstract
Computer experiments of rheology regarding the effects of temperature (T), pressure (P), and density (rho) on steady shear flow material functions, which include viscosity (eta) and first and second normal stress coefficients (psi(1) and psi(2)) depending on shear rate (gamma), have been conducted via nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations for liquid n-hexadecane. Straightforwardly, using both characteristic values of a zero-shear-rate viscosity and critical shear rate, eta-gamma flow curves are well normalized to achieve the temperature-, pressure-, and density-invariant master curves, which can be formulary described by the Carreau-Yasuda rheological constitutive equation. Variations in the rate of shear thinning, obviously exhibiting in eta-gamma, psi(1)-gamma, and -psi(2)-gamma relationships, under different T, P, and rho values, are concretely revealed through the power-law model's exponent. More importantly, at low shear rates, the fluid explicitly possesses Newtonian fluidic characteristics according to both manifestations; first and second normal stress differences decay to near zero, while nonequilibrium states are close to equilibrium ones. Significantly, the tendency to vary of the degree of shear thinning in rheology is qualitatively contrary to that of shear dilatancy in thermodynamics. In addition, a convergent transition point is evidently observed in the -psi(2)/psi(1)-gamma curves undergoing dramatic variations, which should be associated with shear dilatancy, as addressed analytically.
