Theory of polyelectrolyte dendrigrafts
Oleg V. Borisov, Oleg V. Shavykin, Ekaterina B. Zhulina
A mean-field approach is used to analyze equilibrium conformations of polyelectrolyte dendrigrafts comprising ionically charged dendrons attached by focal points to a flexible line…
Selective colloid transport across planar polymer brushes
Mikhail Y. Laktionov, Ekaterina B. Zhulina, Leonid Klushin +2
Polymer brushes are attractive as surface coatings for a wide range of applications, from fundamental research to everyday life, and also play important roles in biological systems…
Non-linear elasticity effects and stratification in brushes of branched polyelectrolytes
Inna O. Lebedeva, Oleg V. Shavykin, Igor M. Neelov +3
Brushes formed by arm-tethered starlike polyelectrolytes may exhibit internal segregation into weakly and strongly extended populations (stratified two-layer structure) when strong…
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…
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…
