Learning to Classify Threading in Melts of Rings
Filippo Conforto, Roman Staňo, Jan Smrek +1
Dense melts of nonconcatenated ring polymers exhibit anomalous dynamics and nonlinear rheology, in some cases linked to long-lived inter-ring threading entanglement. Detecting thes…

Actively induced supercoiling can slow down plasmid solutions by trapping the threading entanglements
Roman Staňo, Renáta Rusková, Dušan Račko +1
Harnessing the topology of ring polymers as a design motif in functional nanomaterials is becoming a promising direction in the field of soft matter. For example, the ring topology…
