Effects of particle distribution on mechanical properties of magneto-sensitive elastomers in a homogeneous magnetic field
D. Ivaneyko, V. Toshchevikov, M. Saphiannikova +1
We propose a theory which describes the mechanical behaviour of magneto-sensitive elastomers (MSEs) under a uniform external magnetic field. We focus on the MSEs with isotropic spa…
Critical adsorption controls translocation of polymer chains through lipid bilayers and permeation of solvent
Jens-Uwe Sommer, Marco Werner, Vladimir A. Baulin
Monte Carlo simulations using an explicit solvent model indicate a new pathway for translocation of a polymer chain through a lipid bilayer. We consider a polymer chain composed of…
Magneto-sensitive elastomers in a homogeneous magnetic field: a regular rectangular lattice model
D. Ivaneyko, V. Toshchevikov, M. Saphiannikova +1
A theory of mechanical behaviour of the magneto-sensitive elastomers is developed in the framework of a linear elasticity approach. Using a regular rectangular lattice model, diffe…
Polymer chains in confined geometries: Massive field theory approach
D. Romeis, Z. Usatenko
The massive field theory approach in fixed space dimensions is applied to investigate a dilute solution of long-flexible polymer chains in a good solvent between two parallel…
Nano-scale brushes: How to build a smart surface coating
Holger Merlitz, Gui-Li He, Chen-Xu Wu +1
Via computer simulations, we demonstrate how a densely grafted layer of polymers, a {\it brush}, could be turned into an efficient switch through chemical modification of some of i…
Importance of hydrodynamic shielding for the dynamic behavior of short polyelectrolyte chains
Kai Grass, Ute Böhme, Ulrich Scheler +2
The dynamic behavior of polyelectrolyte chains in the oligomer range is investigated with coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation and compared to data obtained by two differen…
