Entropy-driven phase behaviour of all-DNA associative polymers
Francesco Tosti Guerra, Federico Marini, Francesco Sciortino +1
Associative polymers (APs) with reversible, specific interactions between ``sticker'' sites exhibit a phase behavior that depends on a delicate balance between distinct contributio…

A phase-field model for solutions of DNA-made particles
Marco Cappa, Francesco Sciortino, Lorenzo Rovigatti
We present a phase-field model based on the Cahn-Hilliard equation to investigate the properties of phase separation in DNA nanostar systems. Leveraging a realistic free-energy fun…
