Adsorption Kinetics of a Single Polymer on a Solid Plane
S. Bhattacharya, A. Milchev, V. G. Rostiashvili +2
We study analytically and by means of an off-lattice bead-spring dynamic Monte Carlo simulation model the adsorption kinetics of a single macromolecule on a structureless flat subs…
Globular Structures of a Helix-Coil Copolymer: Self-Consistent Treatment
Christian Nowak, Vakhtang G. Rostiashvili, Thomas A. Vilgis
A self-consistent field theory was developed in the grand-canonical ensemble formulation to study transitions in a helix-coil multiblock globule. Helical and coil parts are treated…
Polymer translocation through a nanopore - a showcase of anomalous diffusion
J. L. A. Dubbeldam, A. Milchev, V. G. Rostiashvili +1
The translocation dynamics of a polymer chain through a nanopore in the absence of an external driving force is analyzed by means of scaling arguments, fractional calculus, and com…
Mean-Field-Theory for Polymers in Mixed Solvents Thermodynamic and Structural Properties
A. Negadi, A. Sans-Penninckx, M. Bemouna +1
Theoretical aspects of polymers in mixed solvents are considered using the Edwards Hamiltonian formalism. Thermodynamic and structural properties are investigated and some predicti…
Polyelectrolyte Networks: Elasticity, Swelling, and the Violation of the Flory - Rehner Hypothesis
T. A. Vilgis, J. Wilder
This paper discusses the elastic behavior of polyelectrolyte networks. The deformation behavior of single polyelectrolyte chains is discussed. It is shown that a strong coupling be…
