Theoretical Approaches to Neutral and Charged Polymer Brushes
Ali Naji, Christian Seidel, Roland R. Netz
Neutral or charged polymers that are densely end-grafted to surfaces form brush-like structures and are highly stretched under good-solvent conditions. We discuss and compare relev…
Scaling and Universality in the Counterion-Condensation Transition at Charged Cylinders
Ali Naji, Roland R. Netz
We address the critical and universal aspects of counterion-condensation transition at a single charged cylinder in both two and three spatial dimensions using numerical and analyt…
Non-linear Osmotic Brush Regime: Experiments, Simulations and Scaling Theory
Heiko Ahrens, Stephan Foerster, Christiane A. Helm +4
We experimentally and theoretically consider highly condensed planar brushes made of charged polymers. Using x-ray reflectivity on polyelectrolytes which are anchored at the water-…
Attraction of like-charged macroions in the strong-coupling limit
Ali Naji, Roland R. Netz
Like-charged macroions attract each other as a result of strong electrostatic correlations in the presence of multivalent counterions or at low temperatures. We investigate the eff…
Non-linear Osmotic Brush Regime: Simulations and mean-field theory
Ali Naji, Roland R. Netz, Christian Seidel
We investigate polyelectrolyte brushes in the osmotic regime using both theoretical analysis and molecular dynamics simulation techniques. In the simulations at moderate Bjerrum le…
