Inhomogeneous transport in model hydrated polymer electrolyte supported ultra-thin films

D. Damasceno Borges, A. A. Franco, K. Malek +2

Structure of polymer electrolytes membranes, e.g., Nafion, inside fuel cell catalyst layers has significant impact on the electrochemical activity and transport phenomena that dete…

Measuring Spatial Distribution of Local Elastic Modulus in Glasses

Hideyuki Mizuno, Stefano Mossa, Jean-Louis Barrat

Glasses exhibit spatially inhomogeneous elastic properties, which can be investigated by measuring their elastic moduli at a local scale. Various methods to evaluate the local elas…

Non-conservative forces and effective temperatures in active polymers

Davide Loi, Stefano Mossa, Leticia F. Cugliandolo

We follow the dynamics of an ensemble of interacting self-propelled semi-flexible polymers in contact with a thermal bath. We characterize structure and dynamics of the passive sys…

Exact curvilinear diffusion coefficients in the repton model

Arnaud Buhot

The Rubinstein-Duke or repton model is one of the simplest lattice model of reptation for the diffusion of a polymer in a gel or a melt. Recently, a slightly modified model with ha…

Cluster algorithm for non-additive hard-core mixtures

Arnaud Buhot

In this paper, we present a cluster algorithm for the numerical simulations of non-additive hard-core mixtures. This algorithm allows one to simulate and equilibrate systems with a…

Analytical estimate of effective charges at saturation in Poisson-Boltzmann cell models

Emmanuel Trizac, Miguel Aubouy, Lyderic Bocquet

We propose a simple approximation scheme to compute the effective charge of highly charged colloids (spherical or cylindrical with infinite length). Within non-linear Poisson-Boltz…

Concentration Dependence of the Flory Chi Parameter within Two-State Models

V. A. Baulin, A. Halperin

The Flory chi parameter is typically assumed to depend only on the temperature, T. Experimental results often require the replacement of this chi(T) by chieff, that depends also on…

A simple approach for charge renormalization of highly charged macro-ions

Emmanuel Trizac, Lyderic Bocquet, Miguel Aubouy

We revisit the popular notion of effective or renormalized charge, which is a concept of central importance in the field of highly charged colloidal or polyelectrolyte solutions. W…

On the Extension Behavior of Helicogenic Polypeptides

Arnaud Buhot, Avraham Halperin

The force laws governing the extension behavior of homopolypeptides are obtained from a phenomenological free energy capable of describing the helix-coil transition. Just above the…

Inwardly curved polymer brushes : Concave is not like Convex

Manoel Manghi, Miguel Aubouy, Cyprien Gay +1

Inwardly curved polymer brushes are present in cylindrical and spherical micelles or in membranes tubes and vesicles decorated with anchored polymers, and influence their stability…

On the Helix-Coil transition in grafted chains

A. Buhot, A. Halperin

The helix-coil transition is modified by grafting to a surface. This modification is studied for short peptides capable of forming -helices. Three factors are involved: (i) the…

The Extension of Rod-Coil Multiblock Copolymers and the Effect of the Helix-Coil Transition

A. Buhot, A. Halperin

The extension elasticity of rod-coil mutliblock copolymers is analyzed for two experimentally accessible situations. In the quenched case, when the architecture is fixed by the syn…

Early Stages of Homopolymer Collapse

A. Halperin, Paul M. Goldbart

Interest in the protein folding problem has motivated a wide range of theoretical and experimental studies of the kinetics of the collapse of flexible homopolymers. In this Paper a…
