Charge Regulation of Polyelectrolyte Gels: Swelling Transition
Bin Zheng, Yael Avni, David Andelman +1
We study the effects of charge-regulated acid/base equilibrium on the swelling of polyelectrolyte gels, by considering a combination of the Poisson-Boltzmann theory and a two-site…
Formation of Diblock Copolymer Nanoparticles: Theoretical Aspects
Yanyan Zhu, Bin Zheng, David Andelman +1
We explore the shape and internal structure of diblock copolymer (di-BCP) nanoparticles (NPs) by using the Ginzburg-Landau free-energy expansion. The self-assembly of di-BCP lamell…
Phase Separation of Polyelectrolytes: The Effect of Charge Regulation
Bin Zheng, Yael Avni, David Andelman +1
Complex coacervation, known as the liquid-liquid phase separation of solutions with oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, has attracted substantial interest in recent years. We stud…
Enhanced electro-actuation in dielectric elastomers: the non-linear effect of free ions
Bin Zheng, Xingkun Man, David Andelman +1
Plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is a jelly-like soft dielectric material that attracted substantial interest recently as a new type of electro-active polymers. Under electri…
Orienting thin films of lamellar block copolymer: the combined effect of mobile ions and electric field
B. Zheng, X. -K. Man, Z. C. Ou-Yang +2
We study thin films of A/B diblock copolymer in a lamellar phase confined between two parallel plates (electrodes) that impose a constant voltage across the film. The weak-segregat…
