Polyelectrolyte Networks: Elasticity, Swelling, and the Violation of the Flory - Rehner Hypothesis
T. A. Vilgis, J. Wilder
This paper discusses the elastic behavior of polyelectrolyte networks. The deformation behavior of single polyelectrolyte chains is discussed. It is shown that a strong coupling be…
Phase chaos in the anisotropic complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation
R. Faller, L. Kramer
Of the various interesting solutions found in the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation for anisotropic systems, the phase-chaotic states show particularly novel feature…
Crosslinked polymer chains with excluded volume: A new class of branched polymers?
T. A. Vilgis
In this note microgels with and without excluded volume interactions are considered. Based on earlier exact computations on Gaussian mircogels, which are formed by self-crosslinkin…
Topological interactions in DNA catenanes
M. Otto, T. A. Vilgis
The elasticity of DNA catenanes, i.e. multiply linked DNA rings, is investigated using the Gauss invariant as a minimal model for topology conservation. An effective elastic free e…
Elasticity in strongly interacting soft solids: polyelectrolyte network
J. Wilder, T. A. Vilgis
This paper discusses the elastic behavior of a very long crosslinked polyelectrolyte chain (Debye-Hückel chain), which is weakly charged. Therefore the response of the crosslinked…
Langevin dynamics of the glass forming polymer melt: fluctuations around the random phase approximation
V. G. Rostiashvili, M. Rehkopf, T. A. Vilgis
In this paper the Martin-Siggia-Rose (MSR) functional integral representation is used for the study of the Langevin dynamics of a polymer melt in terms of collective variables: mas…
