Size Effect of Monovalent Ions on Polyelectrolyte Brushes
Xianggui Zhou, Nengjie Cao, Xiang-Meng Jia +2
The conformation of polyelectrolyte (PE) brushes is highly sensitive to external conditions, particularly salt concentration and ion-specific effects. As salt concentration increas…
Single Chain Expulsion from Diblock Copolymer Micelles with Dense Corona
Shuang Yuan, Jiajia Zhou
We use self-consistent field theory to investigate the free energy landscape for single-chain expulsion from a diblock copolymer micelle with a dense corona. Using the distance fro…
Chain conformations in adsorbed layer during polymer capillary imbibition
Tao Liang, Li Peng, Xianbo Huang +1
We conducted molecular dynamics simulations to investigate chain conformations in adsorbed layers during polymer capillary imbibition. While the imbibition length adheres to the cl…
Capillary filling of star polymer melts in nanopores
Jianwei Zhang, Jinyu Lei, Pu Feng +3
Topology of polymer profoundly influences on its behavior. However, its effect on imbibition dynamics remains poorly understood. In the present work, capillary filling (during imbi…
Capillary Filling Dynamics in Polygonal Tubes
Chen Zhao, Yu Huang, Tingxuan Chen +3
We study the dynamics of capillary filling in tubes of regular polygon cross-section. Using Onsager variational principle, we derive a coupled ordinary differential equation and pa…
Capillary filling of polymer chains in nanopores
Jianwei Zhang, Jinyu Lei, Wenzhang Tian +3
We performed molecular dynamics simulations with a coarse-grained model to investigate the capillary filling dynamics of polymer chains in nanopores. Short chains fill slower than…
Capillary rising in a tube with corners
Chen Zhao, Jiajia Zhou, Masao Doi
We study the dynamics of a fluid rising in a capillary tube with corners. In the cornered tube, unlike the circular tube, fluid rises with two parts, the bulk part where the entire…
Wetting dynamics in an angular channel
Chen Zhao, Tian Yu, Jiajia Zhou +1
We analyze the dynamics of liquid filling in a thin, slightly inflated rectangular channel driven by capillary forces. We show that although the amount of liquid in the channel…
Wetting equilibrium in a rectangular channel
Tian Yu, Qicheng Sun, Chen Zhao +2
When a capillary channel with corners is wetted by a fluid, there are regions where the fluid fills the whole cross-section and regions where only the corners are filled by the flu…
Theoretical analysis for flattening of a rising bubble in a Hele-Shaw cell
Xianmin Xu, Masao Doi, Jiajia Zhou +1
We calculate the shape and the velocity of a bubble rising in an infinitely large and closed Hele-Shaw cell using Park and Homsy's boundary condition which accounts for the change…
Universality of capillary rising in corners
Jiajia Zhou, Masao Doi
We study the dynamics of capillary rising in corners. Using Onsager principle, we derive a partial differential equation that describes the time evolution of meniscus profile. We o…
Dynamics of Taylor Rising
Tian Yu, Ying Jiang, Jiajia Zhou +1
We study the dynamics of liquid climbing in a narrow and tilting corner, inspired by recent work on liquid transportation on the peristome surface of Nepenthes alata. Considering t…
Directional freezing of binary colloidal suspensions: A model for size fractionation of graphene oxide
Xin Xu, Luofu Liu, Hongya Geng +4
The performance of graphene oxide(GO)-based materials strongly depends on the lateral size and size distribution of GO nanosheets. Various methods are employed to prepare GO nanosh…
Structure Formation in Soft Matter Solutions Induced by Solvent Evaporation
Jiajia Zhou, Xingkun Man, Ying Jiang +1
Solvent evaporation in soft matter solutions (solutions of colloidal particles, polymers and their mixtures) is an important process in material making and in printing and coating…
