How a polymer filling enhances the rate and selectivity of colloid permeation across mesopores
Mikhail Y. Laktionov, Frans A. M. Leermakers, Ralf P. Richter +2
Polymer-functionalised mesopores are an emerging technology for colloid separation, sensing and delivery. Their potential is strikingly illustrated in living cells, where nuclear p…
Selective colloid transport across planar polymer brushes
Mikhail Y. Laktionov, Ekaterina B. Zhulina, Leonid Klushin +2
Polymer brushes are attractive as surface coatings for a wide range of applications, from fundamental research to everyday life, and also play important roles in biological systems…
A method to quantify molecular diffusion within thin solvated polymer films: A case study on films of natively unfolded nucleoporins
Rickard Frost, Delphine Débarre, Saikat Jana +4
We present a method to probe molecular and nanoparticle diffusion within thin, solvated polymer coatings. The device exploits the confinement with well-defined geometry that forms…
Elastohydrodynamic lift at a soft wall
Heather Davies, Delphine Débarre, Nouha El Amri +3
We study experimentally the motion of non-deformable microbeads in a linear shear flow close to a wall bearing a thin and soft polymer layer. Combining microfluidics and 3D optical…
A new configurational bias scheme for sampling supramolecular structures
Robin De Gernier, Tine Curk, Galina V. Dubacheva +2
We present a new simulation scheme which allows an efficient sampling of reconfigurable supramolecular structures made of polymeric constructs functionalized by reactive binding si…
