Transverse fluctuations control the assembly of semiflexible filaments
Valerio Sorichetti, Martin Lenz
The kinetics of the assembly of semiflexible filaments through end-to-end annealing is key to the structure of the cytoskeleton, but is not understood. We analyze this problem thro…
Structure and elasticity of model disordered, polydisperse and defect-free polymer networks
Valerio Sorichetti, Andrea Ninarello, José Ruiz-Franco +5
The elasticity of disordered and polydisperse polymer networks is a fundamental problem of soft matter physics that is still open. Here, we self-assemble polymer networks via simul…
Runaway Transition in Irreversible Polymer Condensation with Cyclisation
Maria Panoukidou, Simon Weir, Valerio Sorichetti +3
The process of polymer condensation, i.e. the formation of bonds between reactive end-groups, is ubiquitous in both industry and biology. Here we study generic systems undergoing p…
Dynamics of nanoparticles in polydisperse polymer networks: From free diffusion to hopping
Valerio Sorichetti, Virginie Hugouvieux, Walter Kob
Using molecular dynamics simulations we study the static and dynamic properties of spherical nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in a disordered and polydisperse polymer network. Purely r…
Characterizing the mesh size of polymer solutions via the pore size distribution
Valerio Sorichetti, Virginie Hugouvieux, Walter Kob
In order to characterize the geometrical mesh size , we simulate a solution of coarse-grained polymers with densities ranging from the dilute to the concentrated regime and for…
Addition to Structure and dynamics of a polymer-nanoparticle composite: Effect of nanoparticle size and volume fraction
Valerio Sorichetti, Virginie Hugouvieux, Walter Kob
In our previous publication (Ref. 1) we have shown that the data for the normalized diffusion coefficient of the polymers, , falls on a master curve when plotted as a f…
Structure and dynamics of a polymer-nanoparticle composite: Effect of nanoparticle size and volume fraction
Valerio Sorichetti, Virginie Hugouvieux, Walter Kob
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study a semidilute, unentangled polymer solution containing well dispersed, weakly attractive nanoparticles (NP) of size () smaller th…
