Tension-Induced Nematic Phase Separation in Bidisperse Homopolymer Melts

[Image: see text] We use an analytical mean-field theory and all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to predict that external tension, together with the nematic coupling interactions, can drive phase separation of long chains from short ones in bidisperse homopolymer melts. The nematic coupling...
