Counterion-controlled phase equilibria in a charge-regulated polymer solution
Giulia L. Celora, Ralf Blossey, Andreas Münch +1
We study phase equilibria in a minimal model of charge-regulated polymer solutions. Our model consists of a single polymer species whose charge state arises from protonation-deprot…
Continuum theories of structured dielectrics
Ralf Blossey, Rudolf Podgornik
Aequous dielectrics are ubiquitous in soft- and bio-nano matter systems. The theoretical description of such systems in terms of continuum (`macroscopic') theory remains a serious…
A comprehensive continuum theory of structured liquids
Ralf Blossey, Rudolf Podgornik
We develop a comprehensive continuum model capable of treating both electrostatic and structural interactions in liquid dielectrics. Starting from a two-order parameter description…
Field theory of structured liquid dielectrics
Ralf Blossey, Rudolf Podgornik
We develop of a field-theoretic approach for the treatment of both the non-local and the non-linear response of structured liquid dielectrics. Our systems of interest are composed…
Ion Solvation in Dipolar Poisson models in a dual view
H. Berthoumieux, G. Monet, R. Blossey
We study the classic problem of ion solvation within the continuum theory of Dipolar-Poisson models. In this approach an ion is treated as a point charge within a sea of point dipo…
Charge symmetry broken complex coacervation
Arghya Majee, Markus Bier, Ralf Blossey +1
Liquid-liquid phase separation has emerged as one of the important paradigms in the chemical physics as well as biophysics of charged macromolecular systems. We elucidate an equili…
Charge regulation radically modifies electrostatics in membrane stacks
Arghya Majee, Markus Bier, Ralf Blossey +1
Motivated by biological membrane-containing organelles in plants and photosynthetic bacteria, we study charge regulation in a model membrane stack. Considering (de)protonation as t…
Comment on "Nonlocal statistical field theory of dipolar particles in electrolyte solutions" by Y.A. Budkov
Sahin Buyukdagli, Tapio Ala-Nissila, Ralf Blossey
The article by Budkov introduces a nonlocal field-theoretic model of solvent-explicit electrostatics. Despite giving a detailed introduction to the early literature on the topic, t…
Correlation-induced DNA adsorption on like-charged membranes
Sahin Buyukdagli, Ralf Blossey
The adsorption of DNA or other polyelectrolyte molecules on charged membranes is a recurrent motif in soft matter and bionanotechnological systems. Two typical situations encounter…
