Effective charge, collapse and the critical point of a polyelectrolyte chain
Arindam Kundagrami, M. Muthukumar
The charge of a polyelectrolyte (PE) controls myriads of phenomena in biology, biotechnology, and materials science, but still remains elusive from an understanding. Considering th…
Counterion desorption and globule-coil transition of a polyelectrolyte under tension
Ajay S. Panwar, Mark A. Kelly, Buddhapriya Chakrabarti +1
We explore the mechanical response of a single polyelectrolyte chain under tension in good and poor solvents using a combination of simulation and theory. In poor solvents, where t…
The collapse of linear polyelectrolyte chains in a poor solvent: When does a collapsing polyelectrolyte collect its counter ions?
Peter Loh, G. Roshan Deen, Doris Vollmer +4
In order to better understand the collapse of polyions in poor solvent conditions the effective charge and the solvent quality of the hypothetically uncharged polymer backbone need…
Counterion adsorption on flexible polyelectrolytes: comparison of theories
Rajeev Kumar, Arindam Kundagrami, M. Muthukumar
Counterion adsorption on a flexible polyelectrolyte chain in a spherical cavity is considered by taking a "permuted" charge distribution on the chain so that the "adsorbed" counter…
