Dynamics of shallow impact cratering
M. A. Ambroso, R. D. Kamien, D. J. Durian
We present data for the time-dependence of wooden spheres penetrating into a loose non-cohesive packing of glass beads. The stopping time is a factor of three longer than the time…
Entropically Driven Helix Formation
Yehuda Snir, Randall D. Kamien
The helix is a ubiquitous motif for biopolymers. We propose a heuristic, entropically based model that predicts helix formation in a system of hard spheres and semiflexible tubes.…
Self-Consistent Field Theory of Multiply-Branched Block Copolymer Melts
Gregory M. Grason, Randall D. Kamien
We present a numerical algorithm to evaluate the self-consistent field theory for melts composed of block copolymers with multiply-branched architecture. We present results for the…
Elongation and fluctuations of semi-flexible polymers in a nematic solvent
Z. Dogic, J. Zhang, A. W. C. Lau +7
We directly visualize single polymers with persistence lengths ranging from to 16 m, dissolved in the nematic phase of rod-like {\it fd} virus. Polymers with suffi…
