Tube width fluctuations of entangled stiff polymers
Jens Glaser, Klaus Kroy
The tube-like cages of stiff polymers in entangled solutions have been shown to exhibit characteristic spatial heterogeneities. We explain these observations by a systematic theory…
Entropy-driven enhanced self-diffusion in confined reentrant supernematics
Marco G. Mazza, Manuel Greschek, Rustem Valiullin +2
We present a molecular dynamics study of reentrant nematic phases using the Gay-Berne-Kihara model of a liquid crystal in nanoconfinement. At densities above those characteristic o…
Shape anisotropy of polymers in disordered environment
Viktoria Blavatska, Wolfhard Janke
We study the influence of structural obstacles in a disordered environment on the size and shape characteristics of long flexible polymer macromolecules. We use the model of self-a…
Theta-polymers in crowded media under the stretching force
Viktoria Blavatska, Wolfhard Janke
We study the peculiarities of stretching of globular polymer macromolecules in a disordered (crowded) environment, using the model of self-attracting self-avoiding walks on site-di…
Elastic Lennard-Jones Polymers Meet Clusters -- Differences and Similarities
Stefan Schnabel, Michael Bachmann, Wolfhard Janke
We investigate solid-solid and solid-liquid transitions of elastic flexible off-lattice polymers with Lennard-Jones monomer-monomer interaction and anharmonic springs by means of s…
Inelastic mechanics of sticky biopolymer networks
Lars Wolff, Pablo Fernandez, Klaus Kroy
We propose a physical model for the nonlinear inelastic mechanics of sticky biopolymer networks with potential applications to inelastic cell mechanics. It consists in a minimal ex…
