Theory of mechanical unfolding of homopolymer globule: all-or-none transition in force-clamp mode vs phase coexistence in position-clamp mode
Alexey A. Polotsky, Elizaveta E. Smolyakova, Tatiana M. Birshtein
Equilibrium mechanical unfolding of a globule formed by long flexible homopolymer chain collapsed in a poor solvent and subjected to an extensional force f (force-clamp mode) or ex…
Mechanical unfolding of a homopolymer globule: applied force vs applied deformation
Alexey A. Polotsky, Elizaveta E. Smolyakova, Oleg V. Borisov +1
We propose the quantitative mean-field theory of mechanical unfolding of a globule formed by long flexible homopolymer chain collapsed in poor solvent and subjected to an extension…
Conformations of amphiphilic polyelectrolyte stars with diblock copolymer arms
Alexey A. Polotsky, Tatiana M. Birshtein, Mohamed Daoud +1
We consider conformations and intra-molecular conformational transitions in amphiphilic starlike polymers formed by diblock copolymer arms with inner hydrophobic and outer polyelec…
