Tension enhancement in branched macromolecules upon adhesion on a solid substrate
J. Paturej, L. Kuban, A. Milchev +1
The effect of self-generated tension in the backbone of a bottle-brush (BB) macromolecule, adsorbed on an attractive surface, is studied by means of Molecular Dynamics simulations…
Self- generated disorder and structural glass formation in homopolymer globules
V. G. Rostiashvili, G. Migliorini, T. A. Vilgis
We have investigated the interrelation between the spin glasses and the structural glasses. Spin glasses in this case are random magnets without reflection symmetry (e.g. - spi…
Weak violation of universality for Polyelectrolyte Chains: Variational Theory and Simulations
G. Migliorini, V. G. Rostiashvili, T. A. Vilgis
A variational approach is considered to calculate the free energy and the conformational properties of a polyelectrolyte chain in dimensions. We consider in detail the case of…
Dynamics of structural models with a long-range interaction: glassy versus non-glassy behavior
V. G. Rostiashvili, T. A. Vilgis
By making use of the Langevin dynamics and its generating functional (GF) formulation the influence of the long-range nature of the interaction on the tendency of the glass formati…
Compression of finite size polymer brushes
T. A. Vilgis, A. Johner, J. F. Joanny
We consider edge effects in grafted polymer layers under compression. For a semi-infinite brush, the penetration depth of edge effects is larger than th…
Polymer adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces
Gregor Huber, Thomas A. Vilgis
The adsorption of a single ideal polymer chain on energetically heterogeneous and rough surfaces is investigated using a variational procedure introduced by Garel and Orland (Phys.…
