Simulations find that chain-length dispersity boosts polymer crystallinity and growth rates more than pre-shear, which mainly alters crystal grain shapes and tie-chain fractions in monodisperse short-chain melts.
For this, we measured properties at the end of the simulation, after 5·10 5τ

Effect of Pre-Shear and Dispersity on Crystallization of a Model Polymer with Soft Pair Interactions using Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Simulations find that chain-length dispersity boosts polymer crystallinity and growth rates more than pre-shear, which mainly alters crystal grain shapes and tie-chain fractions in monodisperse short-chain melts.
