How a polymer filling enhances the rate and selectivity of colloid permeation across mesopores
Mikhail Y. Laktionov, Frans A. M. Leermakers, Ralf P. Richter +2
Polymer-functionalised mesopores are an emerging technology for colloid separation, sensing and delivery. Their potential is strikingly illustrated in living cells, where nuclear p…
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…
Adsorption-active polydisperse brush with tunable molecular mass distribution
Anna S. Ivanova, Alexey A. Polotsky, Alexander M. Skvortsov +2
Recently a novel class of responsive uncharged polymer brushes has been proposed [Klushin et al, J. Chem. Phys. 154, 074904 (2021)] where the brush-forming chains have an affinity…
Polymer brushes with reversibly tunable grafting density
Leonid I. Klushin, Alexander M. Skvortsov, Alexey A. Polotsky +2
We propose a novel class of responsive polymer brushes, where the effective grafting density can be controlled by external stimuli. This is achieved by using end-grafted polymer ch…
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Semi-Dilute and Concentrated Solutions: Unexpected Finite Size Effects in Osmotic Pressure
Ashod Khederlarian, Carmen Almasri, Leonid Klushin
We explore semi-dilute and concentrated oligomers and polymers in a broad range of polymerization indices N ranging from 1 to a 100 and in a range of monomer number densities f…
Anomalous Critical Slowdown at a First Order Phase Transition in Single Polymer Chains
Shuangshuang Zhang, Shuanhu Qi, Leonid I. Klushin +3
Using Brownian Dynamics, we study the dynamical behavior of a polymer grafted onto an adhesive surface close to the mechanically induced adsorption-stretching transition. Even thou…
