Elasticity dominated surface segregation of small molecules in polymer mixtures
Jaroslaw Krawczyk, Salvatore Croce, T. C. B. McLeish +1
We study the phenomenon of migration of the small molecular weight component of a binary polymer mixture to the free surface using mean field and self-consistent field theories. By…
Controlling the micellar morphology of binary PEO-PCL block copolymers in water-THF through controlled blending
P. Schuetz, M. J. Greenall, J. Bent +5
We study both experimentally and theoretically the self-assembly of binary block copolymers in dilute solution, where self-assembly is triggered by changing the solvent from the co…
Micelle formation in block copolymer/homopolymer blends: comparison of self-consistent field theory with experiment and scaling theory
M. J. Greenall, D. M. A. Buzza, T. C. B. McLeish
We present a self-consistent field theory (SCFT) study of spherical micelle formation in a blend of poly(styrene-butadiene) diblocks and homopolystyrene. The micelle core radii, co…
Entropy and Barrier-Hopping Determine Conformational Viscoelasticity in Single Biomolecules
Bhavin S. Khatri, Masaru Kawakami, Katherine Byrne +2
Biological macromolecules have complex and non-trivial energy landscapes, endowing them a unique conformational adaptability and diversity in function. Hence, understanding the pro…
