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…
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…
Theory of competitive counterion adsorption on flexible polyelectrolytes : Divalent salts
Arindam Kundagrami, M. Muthukumar
Counterion distribution around an isolated flexible polyelectrolyte in the presence of a divalent salt is evaluated using the adsorption model [M. Muthukumar, J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 1…
Continuum Theory of Polymer Crystallization
Arindam Kundagrami, M. Muthukumar
We present a kinetic model of crystal growth of polymers of finite molecular weight. Experiments help to classify polymer crystallization broadly into two kinetic regimes. One is o…
