Counterion adsorption on flexible polyelectrolytes: comparison of theories
Rajeev Kumar, Arindam Kundagrami, M. Muthukumar
Counterion adsorption on a flexible polyelectrolyte chain in a spherical cavity is considered by taking a "permuted" charge distribution on the chain so that the "adsorbed" counter…

Microphase separation in polyelectrolytic diblock copolymer melt : weak segregation limit
Rajeev Kumar, M. Muthukumar
We present a generalized theory of microphase separation for charged-neutral diblock copolymer melt. Stability limit of the disordered phase for salt-free melt has been calculated…

Confinement free energy of flexible polyelectrolytes in spherical cavities
Rajeev Kumar, M. Muthukumar
A weakly charged flexible polyelectrolyte chain in a neutral spherical cavity is analyzed using self-consistent field theory (SCFT) within an explicit solvent model. Assuming the r…
