Shape and Size Tunability of Sheets of Interlocked Ring Copolymers

Juan Luengo-Márquez, Salvatore Assenza, Cristian Micheletti

Mechanically bonded membranes of interlocked ring polymers are a significant generalization of conventional elastic sheets, where connectivity is provided by covalent bonding, and…

Force-dependent elasticity of nucleic acids

Juan Luengo-Márquez, Juan Zalvide-Pombo, Rubén Pérez +1

The functioning of double-stranded (ds) nucleic acids (NAs) in cellular processes is strongly mediated by their elastic response. These processes involve proteins that interact wit…

Intermolecular forces at ice and water interfaces: premelting, surface freezing and regelation

Juan Luengo-Marquez, Fernando Izquierdo-Ruiz, Luis G. MacDowell

Using Lifshitz theory we assess the role of van der Waals forces at interfaces of ice and water. The results are combined with measured structural forces from computer simulations…

Analytical theory for the crossover from retarded to non-retarded interactions between metal plates

Juan Luengo-Márquez, Luis G. MacDowell

The van der Waals force established between two surfaces plays a central role in many phenomena, such as adhesion or friction. However, the dependence of this forces on the distanc…

Lifshitz theory of wetting films at three phase coexistence: The case of ice nucleation on Silver Iodide (AgI)

Juan Luengo-Márquez, Luis G. MacDowell

Hypothesis: As a fluid approaches three phase coexistence, adsorption may take place by the successive formation of two intervening wetting films. The equilibrium thickness of thes…
