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…
A Quantitative Theory of Mechanical Unfolding of a Homopolymer Globule
Alexey A. Polotsky, Mohamed Daoud, Oleg 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 extensional…
Mechanical unfolding of a homopolymer globule studied by self-consistent field modelling
Alexey A. Polotsky, Marat I. Charlaganov, Frans A. M. Leermakers +3
We present results of numerical self-consistent field (SCF) calculations for the equilibrium mechanical unfolding of a globule formed by a single flexible polymer chain collapsed i…
