Collapse of a semiflexible polymer in poor solvent
Alberto Montesi, Matteo Pasquali, F. C. MacKintosh
We investigate the dynamics and the pathways of the collapse of a single, semiflexible polymer in a poor solvent via 3-D Brownian Dynamics simulations. Earlier work indicates that…

The stochastic spectral dynamics of bending and tumbling
Chris H. Wiggins, Alberto Montesi, Matteo Pasquali
Traditional models of wormlike chains in shear flows at finite temperature approximate the equation of motion via finite difference discretization (bead and rod models). We introdu…

Vorticity Alignment and Negative Normal Stresses in Sheared Attractive Emulsions
Alberto Montesi, Alejandro A. Pena, Matteo Pasquali
Attractive emulsions near the colloidal glass transition are investigated by rheometry and optical microscopy under shear. We find that (a) the apparent viscosity ηdrops with incre…
