A model for the dynamics of extensible semiflexible polymers

Gerard T. Barkema, J. M. J. van Leeuwen

We present a model for semiflexible polymers in Hamiltonian formulation which interpolates between a Rouse chain and worm-like chain. Both models are realized as limits for the par…

Dynamical Eigenmodes of a Polymerized Membrane

Rick Keesman, Gerard T. Barkema, Debabrata Panja

We study the bead-spring model for a polymerized phantom membrane in the overdamped limit, which is the two-dimensional generalization of the well-known Rouse model for polymers. W…

Controlled Nanoparticle Formation by Diffusion Limited Coalescence

R. Stepanyan, J. G. J. L. Lebouille, J. J. M. Slot +2

Polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) have a great application potential in science and technology. Their functionality strongly depends on their size. We present a theory for the size of…

Electrostatic Interactions between Janus Particles

Joost de Graaf, Niels Boon, Marjolein Dijkstra +1

In this paper we study the electrostatic properties of `Janus' spheres with unequal charge densities on both hemispheres. We introduce a method to compare primitive-model Monte Car…

Texture and shape of two-dimensional domains of nematic liquid crystal

R. M. W. van Bijnen, R. H. J. Otten, P. van der Schoot

We present a generalized approach to compute the shape and internal structure of two-dimensional nematic domains. By using conformal mappings, we are able to compute the director f…

How Flow Changes Polymer Depletion in a Slit

Takashi Taniguchi, Yuichiro Arai, Remco Tuinier +1

A theoretical model is developed for predicting dynamic polymer depletion effects under the influence of fluid flow. The results are established by combining the two-fluid model an…
