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…
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…
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…
Langevin dynamics of the glass forming polymer melt: fluctuations around the random phase approximation
V. G. Rostiashvili, M. Rehkopf, T. A. Vilgis
In this paper the Martin-Siggia-Rose (MSR) functional integral representation is used for the study of the Langevin dynamics of a polymer melt in terms of collective variables: mas…
Langevin Dynamics of a Polymer with Internal Distance Constraints
M. P. Solf, T. A. Vilgis
We present a novel and rigorous approach to the Langevin dynamics of ideal polymer chains subject to internal distance constraints. The permanent constraints are modelled by harmon…
