Diffusion and binding of finite-size particles in confined geometries
Mark L. Henle, Brian DiDonna, Christian D. Santangelo +1
Describing the diffusion of particles through crowded, confined environments with which they can interact is of considerable biological and technological interest. Under conditions…
Gellation of rigid filament networks
B. A. DiDonna, D. C. Morse
We consider a model for gelation of rigid rods, in which rods that are initially placed at random undergo diffusion, and form cross-links when they collide. In the limit of point-l…
Unfolding cross-linkers as rheology regulators in F-actin networks
B. A. DiDonna, Alex J. Levine
We report on the nonlinear mechanical properties of a statistically homogeneous, isotropic semiflexible network cross-linked by polymers containing numerous small unfolding domains…
Smectic blue phases: layered systems with high intrinsic curvature
B. A. DiDonna, Randall D. Kamien
We report on a construction for smectic blue phases, which have quasi-long range smectic translational order as well as three dimensional crystalline order. Our proposed structures…
A Geometric Theory of Diblock Copolymer Phases
G. M. Grason, B. A. DiDonna, R. D. Kamien
We analyze the energetics of sphere-like micellar phases in diblock copolymers in terms of well-studied, geometric quantities for their lattices. We argue that the A15 lattice with…
Smectic Phases with Cubic Symmetry: The Splay Analog of the Blue Phase
B. A. DiDonna, Randall D. Kamien
We report on a construction for smectic blue phases, which have quasi-long range smectic translational order as well as long range cubic or hexagonal order. Our proposed structures…
