Superselective adsorption of multivalent polymeric particles
Elena Patyukova
Multivalency is a common biological mechanism of formation of strong reversible and selective bonds by grouping weak bonds. Polymers often act as a scaffold to which multiple bindi…

Phase behavior of correlated random copolymers
Elena Patyukova, Erte Xi, Mark R. Wilson
In this work, Flory-Huggins phase diagrams for correlated random copolymers with realistic chain lengths are calculated. This is achieved in two steps. At first we derive a distrib…

Hydrogen bonding in acrylamide and its role in the scattering behavior of acrylamide-based block copolymers
E. Patyukova, T. Rottreau, R. Evans +2
Hydrogen bonding plays a role in the microphase separation behavior of many block copolymers, such as those used in lithography, where the stronger interactions due to H-bonding ca…
