ELASTIC LENNARD-JONNED MODEL

with Martin Kröger and Yitzhak Rabin
We developed a toy model that contains the basic features of microphase separation in polymer gels: a stretched elastic network of Lennard-Jones particles. At low temperatures, dense filaments are formed. These mesoscopic structures are shown to be a general feature of phase separation in connected polymer networks.
