Two-dimensional perturbations in a scalar model for shear banding
Johan L. A. Dubbeldam, P. D. Olmsted
We present an analytical study of a toy model for shear banding, without normal stresses, which uses a piecewise linear approximation to the flow curve (shear stress as a function…
Depletion theory and the precipitation of protein by polymer
Theo Odijk
The depletion theory of nanoparticles immersed in a semidilute polymer solution is reinterpreted in terms of depleted chains of polymer segments. Limitations and extensions of mean…
Entropy maximization in the force network ensemble for granular solids
Brian P. Tighe, Adrianne R. T. van Eerd, Thijs J. H. Vlugt
A long-standing issue in the area of granular media is the tail of the force distribution, in particular whether this is exponential, Gaussian, or even some other form. Here we res…
Scaling theory of DNA confined in nanochannels and nanoslits
T. Odijk
A scaling analysis is presented of the statistics of long DNA confined in nanochannels and nanoslits. It is argued that there are several regimes in between the de Gennes and Odijk…
Collective diffusion coefficient of proteins with hydrodynamic, electrostatic and adhesive interactions
Peter Prinsen, Theo Odijk
A theory is presented for lambda_C, the coefficient of the first-order correction in the density of the collective diffusion coefficient, for protein spheres interacting by electro…
Polymer translocation through a nanopore - a showcase of anomalous diffusion
J. L. A. Dubbeldam, A. Milchev, V. G. Rostiashvili +1
The translocation dynamics of a polymer chain through a nanopore in the absence of an external driving force is analyzed by means of scaling arguments, fractional calculus, and com…
